What kind of errors will people see? As I have just tested, if I run:
 CAMERAS="bbhsgdd" emerge -pv media-libs/libgphoto2

I get no error (that would be equivalent to a camera that got removed on
a bump). 

In the case of a CAMERA addition, we would see it when bumping (as one
of them wouldn't be enabled automatically). It doesn't look to
complicate to maintain for me then :-/
