Which version of Akonadi does this work with?

I have a working solution for Akonadi 13.0 in Debian Jessie, but that no
longer works for Akonadi 16.0 in Debian 16.0 in Debian Stretch.

One difference is that the newer Akonadi, or rather the libs it is
linked against, depend on being able to connect to X11. That wasn't the
case before. I'm providing that now and the akonadi server starts okay
(akonadiconsole works), so I think that's covered.
