I think we should try anyway. What disasters do you mean exactly?

Agreed. But if I have multiple entries for one person, would the presence 
only be on the telepathy entry, and not the other one?

I'm not sure about Nepomuk data storage either, but I guess you could give 
the vcards to Akonadi, and tell it that it relates to a particular 
PIMO::Person. Or, though some merging operation, have that done outside of 
your control (maybe automatically or by user dialog)
