Hi,

I'm the digikam packager for Debian GNU/Linux.

I have noticed that the 2.0.0 .tar.bz2 archive from sf.net is now
including a lot of extras that were distributed separately:

docs/{kipi-plugins,digikam}  will these continue to ship with the apps?

extras/kipi-plugins     was previous a separate tar archive
extras/libkdcraw        is also distributed with kdegraphics
extras/libkexiv2        is also distributed with kdegraphics
extras/libkface		is unique to digikam archive
extras/libkipi		is also distributed with kdegraphics
extras/libkmap		is unique to digikam archive
extras/libksane		is also distributed with kdegraphics
extras/libmediawiki     is unique to digikam archive

I can work around, but need to know if this is the plan for 2.0.0 final?

However, having the same libs released in the digikam archive and the
KDE SC kdegraphics archive is problematic for distributions.  Especially
as some are at the same soname libkipi.so.8, whilst others have
different interfaces KDE SC 4.6 kdegraphics ships libkexiv2.so.9, whilst
digikam 2.0.0 is shipping libkexiv2.so.10.
