This way of building using bundled code is not allowed in Fedora, so
we have problem with building separate libkipi package.

You mean extra sub-dir in digikam-3.0.0-beta tarball?
Sources from this tarball can be used for libkipi package
but question with package versioning (and its upgrading
to libkipi released with KDE 4.10 beta) is not solved.
Putting separate tarball (libkipi-4.9.40 for example) in 
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/digikam/
will make packaging much simpler.
