I found it: since some smoke bindings were created in my PyKDE build, I 
was under the impression, that parts of it are generated by smokegen 
now, and parts are sip based (which would be a disaster software 
architecture wise). Sorry about that.

Apart from the akonadi fix, I've just needed some more spec tweaks to 
suppress the smoke generator build..
