In this case, the app should have a TpContact and wants an individual
for it. From a TpContact folks can construct a persona uid like
"telepathy:<account path>:<contact id>", and the DB must then answer the
question "what's the individual uid for this persona uid?" and a 2nd
question "what's all the personas uid for this individual uid?". Maybe
an sqlite DB can answer those 2 questions in one query?

This is actually how it works on N9 with tracker as DB, so I'm not
making this up from nothing ;-)
