Comment 2 for bug 304010

I have no idea what akonadi is doing, but depending on mysql as storage backend does not sound to me as a smart move. Perhaps it could alternatively use a more lightweight database backend like sqlite3 or something?

as developer, I see the following options:

- change akonadi to use sqlite3
- remove akonadi from kubuntu-desktop
- change mysql packaging to provide a package with an unconfigured mysqld binary and move the debconf mangement to some mysql-config package, similar to the exim4 packaging.
