Since digikam/kipi-plugins are already in Debian/Ubuntu, you can use "apt-get 
build-dep" to install all packages that are needed to build digikam properly 
in Debian/Ubuntu.

Just perform the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep digikam
sudo apt-get build-dep kipi-plugins

If you will also build libkdcraw/libkexif2, install their build deps too:
sudo apt-get build-dep libkdcraw2
sudo apt-get build-dep libkexiv2-3
