Oh! This is also something we could really use (we are planning to look into 
plugging libfolks on top of Akonadi in order to facilitate contact merging, 
but that seems like a pretty... convoluted approach).

Do you have some more information about the Person concept? What we would like 
to have is basically a way to represent several collections of contacts as one 
virtual collection that contains a merged addressbook, where the merging 
algorithm would preferably do sensible things automagically.

Removing/disabling a collection should remove its information from the merged 
addressbook, and adding a new one should enhance the merged addressbook, of 
course. In addition, it would be nice to have a manual (persistent) way of 
merging single contacts...
