KAlarm does still use Akonadi directly or indirectly for some purposes including emailing, migrating its resources when upgrading, accessing contacts, etc, because KDE software libraries use Akonadi to provide these functions. So it will depend on some Akonadi packages, even though it no longer uses Akonadi for alarm storage and retrieval.
