Hi, we are sorry for the lack of reply. Personally, I must have skipped this message just by reading the subject, expecting someone familiar with digikam to reply (I don't use digikam myself). But now that I read it, I think I can give you an answer. The dependencies are correct. digikam in lenny is an older version that uses kde3, while digikam in squeeze uses kde4. kde3 and kde4 are completely different in packaging, with the major difference being the kdelibs package, which is monolithic in kde3 (all libraries in one package) while it is split in many smaller packages in kde4. There are probably also some new features in digikam that use other components of kde and add some extra dependencies too. The only thing that you could avoid installing is all the xine related libraries, by installing phonon-backend-gstreamer (which is interchangeable with phonon-backend-xine and sounds more appropriate for gnome, which uses gstreamer everywhere).
