Quite an procedure.

Congrats, Jörg.

I'd consider a one file an event icaldir resource still. In Akonadi it is 
listed as "Ical calender folder". However I do not remember *how* I 
migrated the calendar items. I bet I somehow managed to let it move all 
events to the new calendar or, probably more likely, I let is import the 
old ics file.

My calendar folder looks like this:

[…]:~/.local/share> find calendar -name "*-*-*-*-*" | wc -l 
1266

[…]:~/.local/share> du -sh calendar 
28M     calendar

I would not like to have this as a single file that is rewritten all the 
time.

Not sure whether this is a difference regarding works or does not work.

Thanks,
