On a second thought, the filtering could just as well be done on top of
libaccounts, in the actual account gui (uoa and kaccounts). There the
filtering is a matter of simple code in QSortFilterProxyModel (we
already have one there anyway).

This way the KDE providers would never show up in uoa and vice-versa.
I'm not entirely sure what happens when you change the provider file
name and keep the content the same - will everything just continue to
work? Or will the accounts need to be recreated?

Anywho, do you think you could get such fix into uoa?

Title:
  Make this metapackage conflict with kaccounts-providers

Status in account-plugins package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Anyone that tries to install Kubuntu-meta, or from Kubuntu tries to
  install Ubuntu-desktop, will hit conflicts with accounts-sso providers
  in /usr/share/accounts/providers (and possibly in service files in the
  future). As a result, many automatic bugs are being generated on both
  packages relating to this conflict in both directions, below are the
  most popular ones for each:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/account-plugins/+bug/1539988
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaccounts-providers/+bug/1489507

  kaccounts-providers is imported from Debian directly without
  repackaging and Debian does not package the Ubuntu account-plugins
  anywhere. Upstream KDE is being forced to break accounts-sso standards
  and impose systemwide envvars to work around that this package should
  conflict with KDE's: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347219

  Either Ubuntu / Kubuntu should be amending the Debian package to make
  it conflict with these plugin packages when importing it, or the
  psmteam should make this package conflict with kaccounts-providers.
  The later would be less work, since account-plugins is only packaged
  in Ubuntu for Unity.

  This change is necessary in Wily and beyond since those are the
  releases shipping kaccounts-providers.
