I'll try to clear up this matter tomorrow and give the answer, if possible.

UPATE
got it today. See:
speaking in particularly of fresh digikam -- there will be no update, because it requires the whole Qt to be rebuilt. In LTS we have KDE 4.8, so everything that requires the whole bunch of fresh libraries won't be updated. There'll be something in contrib but not much either. A a special repo with kinda fresh soft for LTS is to be available soon, BUT it is still LTS and everything thas goes beyond MAIN and NON-FREE will not be supported.
Please-please guys, wait a liitle untill beta 2012.1 comes in September

you don't understand.

if i install a LTS this is because i don't want to update my system but just app and drivers

this what a lts is for, no ?

Well, in some cases you just can't update application without updating some system dependencies, as it turns out. Drivers are little different. Now, I got an answer from devs that digikam 2.8.0 would require rebuilding of Qt, so the digikam 2.8.0 won't be available for LTS We just have to clarify every application you want to be updated, I'm afraid.
