I am no Debian Qt/KDE packager, so this is in no way an official response.
There has been some discussion about this on this list already.
I think main question is: Is KDEPIM 2 really production ready, i.e. stable
enough?
I get the impression from reading kdepim and kdepim-users that with
4.8.3/4.8.4 it gets there, but I haven´t tested it.
Did you test it?
The switch to Akonadi for KMail is a big one. And I think even right now
there is no way of automatic migration thats working out okay in most
cases. Thus the recommended procedure as far as I am aware of is to
recreate mail accounts and reimport mail from IMAP server or POP3 mail
directory. As far as I read its usually also necessary to recreate all
filter rules.
I´d love to test KDEPIM 2, but I am also still a bit reluctant. I have a
quite insane amount of mail folders, mails and filter rules.
I am considering a parallel installation of some sort to run some tests
for quite some time, but I didn´t take the time to do all that yet.
Ciao,
