My vote is for a separate PPA until Digikam 5 is final (just in case...),
then overwrite the current PPA.

However, I appreciate you investing your time in doing this, so if that is
a pain, so long as we know you are overwriting Digikam 4, we can just hold
of on updates until final is out.

Thanks,

Everard
