The problem in estimating it is that we would need to do a
significant portion of the work to be able to give a serious estimation.
Having said that I guess that having an ldap export look at both schemes 
will take about a day. 
Next you a Gosa and a Kolab expert to sit togehter and try things.
After this you can estimate the rest.

I would seperate two issues:
	a) Integrate Gosa and Kolab to work together, supportable
	for customers
	b) Make a Debian package that makes good use of usable
	Debian components. (Making a dumb package that only installs
	openpkg and the rest is almost trivial, 
	but it also is also only show.)

b) is a lot more work than a).
I was talking a) above and my wild guess for it is less than 20 working days.
