Well, digikam is a KDE app. It uses KDE stuff to run and depends on KDE
libraries. F-spot if very much a GNOME and Mono app, so depends on the
necessary libraries from that camp. You might find something like gqview
a lot lighter on dependencies but it doesn't have half the features.
Rightly or wrongly, a lot of the desktop innovations happen in KDE and
GNOME, and a lot of new applications appear there first. If you chose
not to use them and keep related libraries off your system (and it's a
perfectly valid choice - don't get me wrong) you have to live with fact
that you're going to miss out on some applications.

It doesn't. At least, not directly. If you check out the package
information, none of those are direct requirements of the package:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/digikam
It'll be one of the dependent packages that depends on having an MTA
installed. Debian's default MTA is Exim, so that's what it tries to
install. If you have an MTA installed already, you wouldn't see Exim
trying to be installed.
