Woah, that did it! Upgraded to mysql-client-5.0 and mysql-server-5.0, 
which took me some time, but finally I succeeded. I had some holds on 
mysql packages to not upgrade to early when mysql5 was not mature enough 
for me, but simply forgot it. :(

Starting kontact started akonadi which in turn started a KResource 
Migration Tool - now everything seems to run fine.

I will test syncing with my Palm Treo 680 now thouroughly and report 
then again.

I suggest putting akonadi's dependencies for Debian not to mysql-server 
as it is not, but at least to mysql-server-5.0.

Guys, thanks a lot for your patience and your help, you made my day!

Cheers
Frisco
