Well ... I'm not developing neither libkface, nor libkgeomap; we're just using both libs here at KPhotoAlbum (and would thus like to see distributions delivering single libs, so that KPA won't have to pull Digikam as a dependency if the new features are used) ... very likely, Gilles Caulier from Digikam can explain the situation better than me.
