Nice.
I believe no multiple merge candidates happened here in quite a while.
Last time it happened "Clear Akonadi Cache" did the trick.
While I look forward to a new major upstream version of KDEPIM & Akonadi
in Debian, I appreciate that you do some backports of fixes for stable
users first.
My major issue still are the Web Engine related crashes of KMail. KMail
crashes several times a day during filtering here¹.

I found later that you backported quite a bunch of patches.

No. I did not compile Akonadi myself since a long time.

Okay, I thought there is just was multiple merge candidates issue which
got worked around by the recent patchsets.
