Bug#579811: Does linking to libkcal4 really must pull kdepim-runtime ?

So it does access KDE address book and calendar. And now comes the news: you 
like or not, as of KDE SC 4.4, akonadi MUST be installed and running in order 
for the user to be able to access KDE address book or calendar.

As I said before, KDE 4 is changing and akonadi gets more and more integrated 
with each new major release. KDE SC 4.4 is the point, when you like it or not, 
akonadi is mandatory to access KDE address book and calendar at runtime from 
any application. So kdepim-runtime is a valid runtime dependency.

So your problem is really about Tellico packaging. I can only suggest two ways 
to solve it:

1) Split off KDE integration into separate binary package (recommended);
2) Pass -xkdepim-runtime to dpkg-shlibdeps and put kdepim-runtime to 
Recommends/Suggests manually.

And finally, please reassign this bug to yourself :) I don't see how we can 
help you here.
