It's not whether something is *easy* top update, what's important is
that it gets updated regularly without my intervention so that
security fixes etc. get installed.

As it is, using an Ubuntu distribution, all I have to do is say 'yes'
to the automatic updates sent out regularly (well, scanned for
automatically by my system I guess).  I try *very* hard not to install
large items of software from outside the official repositories and
Digikam is definitely that because it pulls in a lot of KDE stuff that
I wouldn't have otherwise.

If I installed an 'outside' Digikam it would almost certainly stay
stuck at that version on my system until something broke.
