That's not the problem.
The symbol _ZN7Akonadi3Job16doHandleResponseExRKNS_8Protocol7CommandE
has been removed from libakonadicore5 without bumping the SONAME.

Looking more in detail, it's clear that the library moved from
    Akonadi::Job::doHandleResponse(long long, Akonadi::Protocol::Command const&)
to
    Akonadi::Job::doHandleResponse(long long, 
QSharedPointer<Akonadi::Protocol::Command> const&)
without bumping SONAME.

And furthermore, commit 75ba24508a4cb5e8786c98782b93121078089369 in your
packaging repository happily swaps the 2 symbols without giving an
explenation for why it's ok to drop the older symbol (which is clearly
not ok).  And from the same commit I see the same fate happened to other
symbols as well.

Therefore, IMHO:

It's not the appropriate action.

Please treat this bug as you'd usually treat an ABI break.
