Well, I have to admit that I mislead you with my remark yesterday.
To find available packages one should use
   aptitude search qt3
which would list libqt3-mt-dev  (which you did install by now).
(The command `dpkg -l` only lists installed packages,
while `dpkg -L package-name` lists the files of the package - sorry
for the confusion!!!)
Another useful package is `apt-file`
(ie. `sudo aptitude install apt-file` followed by
`sudo apt-file update` to update the information from time to time.
Then `apt-file search filename` searches for all packages containing
the given filename!).

Now back to kde headers:
Use `aptitude search kde | grep dev`
which (among  a lot of stuff) lists   `kde-devel`
This should get you going to the next step.

BTW: did you already install libjasper 
(see http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/dependencies)

And: don't hesitate to ask!!

Best, Arnd
