------- Additional Comments From msp debian org  2008-06-21 01:30 -------
If I can join in.

In Debian/GNU Linux we have made it policy that packages shouldn't include \
convenience copies of other libraries, due to the issues with tracking security fixes \
in all packages that have copies of other libraries. \
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles

However, I can also sympathise with the need.

Could I suggest that digikam autotools checks for an installed lib >= 3.5.9 and if it \
doesn't find it then digikam uses its own internal copy, if it does find >= 3.5.9 \
then it uses the system library.

The distributions can fixup the .pc file in sqlite easily enough, if their upstream \
doesn't. 

This way end users compiling get an assured working version of digikam and the \
distributions get an version of digikam using shared libraries and things are the way \
they should be.

Ditto the convenience copy of cImg library:
