The Kolab backend handler uses the library developed by Kolab systems to 
handle Kolab content of all versions.

No. Plugins for the old access mechanism are dropped once a suitable native 
replacement is available, which, IIRC, was around KDE PIM 4.6

Most if not all of those were only necessary because KMail served as the 
transport implementation, i.e. for accessing data on the remote server.
This is no longer necessary, address book or calendar applications can now 
directly work with their respective data and let the Kolab backend handler 
take care of communicating with the server.

As Pino said temporarily unavailable in Debian due to missing dependencies.
