Right. That makes sense. See this snippet from the libkolab's 
CMakeLists.txt:

if (USE_LIBCALENDARING)
     ...
else()
     find_package(KDE4 4.8 REQUIRED)
     find_package(KdepimLibs 4.8 REQUIRED)
endif()

Libkolab requires KDE 4.8, which is in the tree for Debian Wheezy, so 
no problem there.

Agree as well.

We need to judge this on a distribution by distribution basis, and for 
Debian Wheezy at least we don't need libcalendaring (anymore).

So I'm going to go ahead with the Debian folks, then, without 
libcalendaring.

Cheers,
