[pkg-kolab] kdepim and kolab

Hey,

Well yes i see the same issue here - actually upstream doesn't create this 
file. But you can easily create one (it is just an empty file, so touch should 
be your friend :) And you can use pykolab by using the direct import 
kolab.foo. The debian package should  ship an __init__.py.

Regads,
