I had just bought a new camera, a cannon with more capable glass than my now elderly nikon with its very flaky usb socket. Wheezy was never aware the camera was even plugged in, but I'd just installed a modified stretch the linuxcnc folks are testing to a test machine, so I took it to that machine, and digikam took about a second to find it and load the first 2 snaps I'd taken.
So a hearty tip of the 5 gallon hat to the digikam folks, you done good, thank you very much.
