Since I put my head up about this, I thought I'd better do something and not
just moan!

I downloaded the source (gphoto2_2.0beta3-0.1.tar.gz), unpacked it and tried to build it:

chris@shawn $ debuild

It's trying to install docs under /usr/share/doc during the build.  You
should notice this if you try to build as a non-root user.

I think you should maybe be using DESTDIR= instead of prefix in the make
install in debian/rules, but I haven't managed to make it work properly.
