Right now, the ones from OBS are still the ones being officially developed, as I understand it. There is a separate Debian packaging initiative (pkg-kolab), but it only seems to cover a few packages at this point, and I'm not too sure what the functional differences are between those packages and the ones from OBS. Certainly, the packages I've rebuilt all came from OBS originally. It is, however, the case that I've done work on pykolab both in terms of the packaging and the actual code itself, and such work is currently outside both OBS and pkg-kolab because the actual code changes will need integrating with the upstream sources (even though the functional benefits are mainly related to packaging).

So although it looks as if a lot of things need to be packaged, as you can see from the "current" dependency graph the group of packages including one called pykolab are actually all produced by a single source package. And pykolab is quite quick to build as a package unlike libkolab and libkolabxml, so it isn't that painful to work on.
