    No... you forget the package management has never been the issue.

    RPM == DEB are of nearly equal capacity. It is the Packaging that Debian
    Uses and the Proper dependency checking it does.

    BTW, use apt-get:

       apt-get remove --purge libgphoto2-2 libgphoto2-port0

    Use the --purge option to remove the configs as well.

    You should be fine.
