a bit more radical (and very ugly, but less packaging breaking) solution:

what's the least possible code needed to access the existing akonadi/kde4 
instance from kf5?
All the needed code could be inside plasma-workspace as a private qml import 
or dataengine, without extra dependencies, even if it means quite some 
duplication.

then packaging-wise shouldn't be a problem and would give some breathing space 
(a year-ish?) of living with kontact4 waiting for the proper port.
