[Bug 489738] [NEW] Wishlist: please consider Digikam as default image tool for Ubuntu 10.04

[Michael]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: digikam

Since gimp is being removed from the default installation for Ubuntu
10.04, the default imaging application chosen is likely to be F-Spot.
This is a request to also consider Digikam for that role.  Apart from
the fact that Digikam is a high quality piece of software, this would
remove one of the main reasons for including Mono, which is a rather
large (and unpopular!) dependency, in the default installation, and
would be a good step towards bringing Ubuntu and Kubuntu closer
together, which would be good for many reasons, including reducing
maintenance effort on the part of Canonical (resulting in improved
quality for users).

The main problem I see is that apt-get install digikam still pulls in a
large number of dependencies (over 200Mb).  I think though that some
careful clean-up could reduce this substantially.

I realise that Launchpad bugs may not be the best place for this
request.  If it is not appropriate, where would I be better filing it?
