Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty

[Philip Johnsson]

No from ubuntu 17.04 on there will only be "digikam" packages and not any
"digikam5" series of packages as "digikam" packages previously in releases
before 17.04 on my PPA have been the coexisted digikam 4.14.

Looks like I will have the packages ready tonight but I will not have time
to setup a virtual ubuntu 17.04 environment to test the packages tonight
for upload after it. I guess the upload will be tomorrow or so after I have
had time to test install them.
