Very quick test using the digikam trash, shows that (afaik) all metadata are 
restored on resoring a raw file /even if I do not restore the sidecar file/. 
That is, I recovered caption, title, rating, pick label, colour label and 
tags. That is with rescan and database cleanup on start-up enabled.

That is with digikam 5.5.0 appimage under OpenSuse Leap 42.3 (some of the 
reported bugs on newer versions made me a bit hesitant to update).

So it looks like digikam does not remove 'deleted' items from the database 
while they are in the Trash. I'll do some more tests later to see what exactly 
happens.
