There's a good deal of confusion around, about this.  On this laptop, for 
instance, it was brand-new, therefore a clean install.  When I started 
kontact, it carried out first-run.  At that point I had no addressbok set up - 
so I ended up with an empty ~/.local/share/contacts.  At that point I'm left 
guessing.  And I might say, that I've seen other users perplexed at the same 
point.

In fact I copied my std.vcf from the old laptop, set it as an addressbook, 
then simply copied all the entries into Personal Contacts.  As far as I can 
tell there were no ill effects.  But users shouldn't be left guessing like 
this.
