        Hi,
I do not have any such link, unfortunately, though some hints I have.
There are two processes, e-addressbook-factory and e-calendar-factory,
which are replacing the old evolution-data-server-X.YZ process. Each of
them is running its own part from eds. You can run the
e-addressbook-factory on a console with LDAP_DEBUG=1, to see the LDAP
debugging information on the console. Contacts backend for calendar
doesn't have any such environment variable, thus run the calendar
factory only on its own. Maybe it'll write there something. Note that
only one factory can be running in a time (one for calendar, one for
addressbook).

Nonetheless, I'm afraid that this will not help you much, because to see
what books were considered for an inclusion in the Contacts calendar is
not much visible from the outside, only from the gdb, while debugging
what books are opened and how it finished. It's in the function
e-cal-backend-contact.c:book_record_new
but it's quite out of scope of this mailing list to guide more deeply.
        Bye,
        Milan
