Which made gnome-contacts ask a question about which addressbook to use,
that I cannot answer myself... I think that solution has just far too
much disadvantages to counter the small benefit. If we have smart
auto-merging suggestions like Marco's plugin on N900 it's just a matter
of clicking "yes merge them" on all devices.
