Please look in the mailing list archives.
Last official status was, thats its KDEPIM 4.4.x for Wheezy. Debian Qt/KDE
developers also shared their reasoning for this decision.
I am not aware of any official released KDEPIM 2 packages for Debian in any
suite, not even in http://qt-kde.debian.net
I think for stable it at least would need to be KDEPIM from KDE SC 4.9.3
as thats there first version search and filters seem to work nicely (most of
the time). Possibly even 4.10 to catch further improvements to Nepomuk and
how Akonadi accesses it.
And then this would need to be tested for quite a while.
While I´d really appreciate testing packages for KDEPIM 2 I understand
that they add additionally work for maintaining them in parallel. I
remember some mentioning of new packages with KDE SC 4.10 and intent to
skip 4.9 due to man power reasons here on this list.
So please consult archives. AFAIR its all there.
Thanks,
