Actually, that seems to be inaccurate. If you look at the bug for the gcc-5 
transition[1] you'll see numerous suggestions for help, including a person who 
was able to build the package, and about two weeks ago, a Debian Developer 
offering to do a non-maintainer update (NMU); but the package maintainers have 
not responded.

It should be noted that there are other serious problems in the package -- for 
example, it seems to depend on an obsolete version of GStreamer[2] -- but as 
far as I'm aware, none of these other problems affect the rest of the system in 
a similar way (forcing a choice between Digikam and updating the rest of the 
system).
