apt-setup script

I was not able to find a list of dependencies required for building digikam (something similar to python's requirement.txt), because of which I had to run cmake again and again unless all missing headers errors were resolved.

To ease up things for development, I managed to create a list of packages which I installed and wish to have scripts to just setup the stage. I created one sample script for my distro.

This is just a proof of concept kind of thing.
* list of packages except libkf5* : https://paste.ubuntu.com/24083619/
* list of libkf5 related dependencies : https://paste.ubuntu.com/24083623/
* setup script for apt : attached

I would like to have suggestions on whether I should take this further and how this can be improved (with version numbers, as apt doesn't have such feature).

Also,  how can I push commits for review on cgit.kde.org.

The list of updated dependencies already exist on git repository. All are commented and maintained.
