Hi,
I've worked my way to a digikam pkg in kubntu.  Problems I currently
see:
	o digikam: complains: kdcraw binary for found.  libkdcraw
	  uses a Kprocess to run kdcraw on the image.
	  Problem: as libkdcraw.so.<whatever> need to installed
	  in parallel, as there can be only one /usr/bin/kdcraw.
	  I've suggested Gilles on IRC to use
	  /usr/lib/libkdraw-<whatever>/kdcraw
          As is, libkdcraw is totaly broken, because kdcraw in not
          installed.

	  As a hack/workaround: should be include /usr/bin/kdcraw
	  into libkdcraw-0 pkg?  Or patch to use /usr/lib/libkdraw-0?
	  Or wait for the upstream fix?

	o exiv2 0.14:  Due to the soname change other kipi-plugins
	  crashed here and can't be rebuild FTBFS due to API changes
          in libexiv2-dev.  Angelo, the Mandriva pkger pointed me
	  to his patches.  Seem to work so far.  I commit soon.

	  Problem: the other debian pkgs need to be informed to get
	  their next uploads compatible with exiv2 0.14, because
	  libexiv2 is in unstable and not in experimental. Otherwise
	  they will get FTBFS too.

	  On kubuntu feisty at least these pkgs are affected outside
	  pkg-kde-extras.  Should be more or less the same in debian:
       
  ufraw
  kphotoalbum
  gpscorrelate-gui
  gpscorrelate
  gimp-ufraw
  gwenview
