API has changed in libkipi 0.1.5 (not in sid yet) and required by kipi-plugins
0.1.3-beta1 (also not in debian).  As libkipi 0.1.4 was released one month before
digikam 0.8.2 there should be no problem.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
