Did you use the obc build command for building? I had no issues using it with 
the development branch according to Timotheus step by step guide.

I don't know. Timotheus said branch of development. But I also don't know how 
packages flow back into the Kolab 3.1 branch.

It should be. If you have some patches here, attaching them to a bugzilla 
issue would be the first step.
