Hi Matthew, thanks for your bug report. I'm not very fond of the proposed 
solution, because it would mean that one cannot have a workstation with both 
KDE and Unity installed. And I guess it's not uncommon to have some households 
with a shared computer, where some family members use KDE and some others use 
Unity.
Given that people working on kaccounts are already solving the problem (by 
moving the files into another location, and use environment variables to ensure 
that libaccounts-glib recognizes the files), what else is left to do?

If there are some common files that can be shared between the two
implementations, we could create an account-plugins-common package,
which could be used by both. If the maintainers of kaccounts-providers
think that this is the case, let them comment here.

** Changed in: account-plugins (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
