Memory leak when downlaoding via PTP (fixed)

[Aigars Mahinovs]

When downloading files with PTP the same amount of
memory is used as total amount of all files to be
downloaded. For example, today I was downloading 100
RAW photos from my Canon 350D with total size of 500Mb
and gphoto memory usage increased to 510Mb.

Bug fixed by disabling cache by commenting the line 1556 in
libgphoto2/gphoto2-filesys.c:
CR (gp_filesystem_set_file_noop (fs, folder, file, context));

After this one line change gphoto only uses 5-16 Mb of RAM.

The fixed package is just uploaded to sid.
Please sync to both dapper and breezy.

   * libgphoto2/gphoto2-filesys.c: Disable file caching when downloading
     pictures to plug a giant memory hole. Thanks to Aigars Mahinovs.
     (Malone #5039)
   * Add debian/check_ptp_camera: udev script to check whether a device is a
     PTP (Photo Transfer Protocol) camera.
   * packaging/linux-hotplug/print-udev-rules.c: Add rule for calling
     check_ptp_camera to fix the currently broken one: just checking
     SYSFS{bInterfaceClass} does not work, since this attribute only applies to
     a subdevice of the camera. (Malone #31292)
