By running print-usb-usermap from libgphoto2-2 and putting that in your
libgphoto2 hotplug map. 

On a Debian system that's /usr/lib/libgphoto2-2/print-usb-usermap and
/etc/hotplug/usb/libgphoto2.usermap. Fedora has /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap for
the usermap. Don't know about others..

On a debian system the usermap is automagically refreshed when a new version is
installed.. Don't know about others, but it's a nice feature to have :)
