In this case it should be changed to python-gphoto2cffi.

When the other package is renamed, the new one can (in theory) take its past
name. There should be no problem because the old package had no rdepends and
the new one has a higher version number. However, you should probably talk to
the gphoto2-cffi maintainer first anyway to check if he's OK with you taking 
over the name.
