Yes it is not a hard dependency, but if extragear is not compiled prior to 
kdegraphics (Gwenview) there will be no kipi-plugin support in Gwenview.

If on the other hand extragear-libs is compiled before kdegraphics, there will 
not be a libksane for the kipi-plugin 'acquireimages' (if libksane is in 
kdegraphics).

Maybe you meant acquireimages :) linksane has no dependency on libkipi.
