Well the right way should be to ask for it to your distro digikam/kipi-plugins
maintainer.
Most distros backport or update these packages.

I see the problem in building source though... 
an easier way is to import old package source description from your distro repository
(i.e. spec file for rpm, don't know for deb) and change it to new version. 
If that is written right, it should fail for dependency first, and give you the right
packages to install.

HTH,
