The thing with migration issues, is that a user want to migrate once and than never again. So it is quite hard to reproduce issues, I had often discussions, and than suddenly the users said - oh now the old data is gone, so nothing to reproduce. If you have some that can be reproduced for the developers, they can help. And before make sure, that the the issue is maybe already known in bugs.kde.org. But keep in mind kdepim is not a big team, so they may also answer, that they want to focus to something else. > - Report in Debian then?

If there are concrete patches, I'm happy to backport them! 16.08 won't help in the migration problem, because as you said already, Debian is one of the last that are doing the migration. > Otherwise I suggest to struggle your way through.

For other Debian user it would help to document a little bit solutions for issues while migration under wiki.debian.org, so others do not need to search though the mailing list archives.
