To me (as a semi-outsider) the best option seems to be to leave 
everything as it is for now and revisit the split of kdepim into 
runtime and apps when all apps have been ported to Akonadi (or when the 
amount of parallel branches has dropped again after GSOC is finished).

If kdepim/akonadi is independent of the rest in kdepim then it can still 
be packaged in a kdepim-runtime tarball even if it is not moved to 
kdepim/runtime/akonadi or kdepim/runtime or whatever.

Just my 2 cents.

Ingo
