This is a stopper for Debian Qt/KDE team. Its one of the main reasons while 
Debian still carries KDEPIM 1 for Wheezy as expressed on debian-kde 
mailinglist.

And I think there should be *one* way to get the data into KDEPIM 2.

So either migration works or there is a import assistant for at least the 
most important original PIM data and no migration.

I read often that migration can fail and users are adviced to recreate 
accounts and import old data instead. I´d prefer that migration works, but 
if that does consume to much resources, I´d rather like that it is disabled 
(if it doesn´t work reliably) and there are helpers to make the import way 
of getting data into KDEPIM 2 more feasible.

Thanks,
