I haven't sorted all this out, but here are a couple things, probably
not said correctly:
Using MTP, "media transfer protocol", to access the camera, Chromium
OS never actually mounts the external device on the file system.
On boot Chromium OS launches an MTP daemon which claims the camera
when plugged in. By disabling this daemon, gphoto2 in Debian inside
Crouton chroot can access the camera. Whew!
