Debian does that too.
It seems that upgrading KDE PIM would upgrade Akonadi but there is no Qt 
kdepimlibs/libakonadi-kde available which would allow access to the new 
Akonadi server.

So distributions that ship other Akonadi using applications will have to wait 
with KDEPIM upgrade until all packaged Akonadi programs have Qt5 libakonadi 
based versions available.
Or have dropped Akonadi now that it is no longer a service for non-KDEPIM 
applications.

Cheers,
Kevin
