KAdressBook started to use Akonadi with KDE 4.4 already and if I go back 
in my incremental backup I find valid *.vcf files in 
~/.local/share/contacts and 0 byte std.vcf* files in 
~/.kde/share/apps/kabc dating back to my earliest backups of this machine 
in January 2011 (see also http://userbase.kde.org/KAddressBook which 
refers currently to version 4.4).

KDE 4.4 was introduced in Kubuntu with 10.04. If one of the kubuntu ppas 
was in use that might be different.

Cheers,
Dirk
