This is (most likely) a system/distro issue. Notice the link line you posted makes no mention of /usr/lib/libltdl.la ? Means, that one of your system libtool archives contains a (possibly erroneous) reference to it.
I doubt that it's a direct requirement of kipi-plugins. KDE comes with it's own copy of ltdl. I assume that kipiplugin_kameraklient.la reverences other .la files that require ltld.la. I assume libgphoto2 we hand big problems before because KDE ltdl and ltdl used by libgphoto version didn't like each other. Achim P.S. FWIW: in case you're running gutsy/i386 you'll find kipi-plugins backport at http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~ach/kubuntu/gutsy/Pkgs.php. And soon for other archs https://launchpad.net/~allee/+archive (working on it right now)
