Libkexiv2 and libkdcraw version are not invisible. Go to Help/Components info
menu entry from digiKam... All is there...

Look like Mandriva package very easily these both libraries with KDE 4.4.x :

ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2010.1/i586/media/main/release/digikam-1.3.0-1mdv2010.1.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2010.1/i586/media/main/release/libkexiv2_8-4.4.3-3mdv2010.1.i586.rpm
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2010.1/i586/media/main/release/libkdcraw8-4.4.3-3mdv2010.1.i586.rpm

Why not other distro cannot do it ?

As i already said previously, these libraries are maintained by digiKam team.
We are very well placed to said if these libraries can be used in production or
not, as well...

I know and i understand that way to release these librairies are not common,
but we (digiKam team) cannot synchronize digiKam release with KDE release,
which is toyo long. This is not a critic, it's just my viewpoint.

The reason to host these libraries in kdegraphics is to not to need to package
it by us. Time is limited and we prefer to develop/hack/fix/improve.
