IMHO presence information is too short lived to make sense for storing in 
Akonadi.

However, it will be good to have the IM "address" as part of a PIM contact 
data, i.e. inside the respective addressee (and probably create a new one if 
there isn't a matching one yet)

See above.

The KABC::Addressee probably needs to be extended to support IM contact 
information like it does for phone numbers or (postal) addresses, i.e. 
allowing a list and probably having a preferred one (though preference might 
depend on the presence state of each currently available transport method)

Cheers,
Kevin
