Hi Diane,
Its probably a good idea to go straight to the (k)ubuntu repos
to get the debian build code and the .orig source. There is no
reason why it wouldn't build straight out on debian alone (once
dependencies are sorted - using same method).
It can then be debianised by checking a few differences with the
latest in debian (i.e akonadi 1.5.3).
I'm inclined to mirror & follow the ubuntu bzr commits, build the sources
"as is", install, run the software.
Slowly transitioning the code over to a debian specific base then
following upstream directly (ideally) would take a little extra effort,
but less than starting from scratch.

As for kdelibs, theres not alot in it
(had a summary side-by-side diff attached - attachments not allowed
sorry)
All the best.
Jules.
