Title:
  Avoid install devloper backends with main folks package

Status in “folks” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The current folks package: libfolks25 is installing some back-ends
  that are used only in the developer environment. We should avoid
  install these files.

  Installing theses files causes the folks to create all available
  backends in memory when initialized, this consume memory and cpu, we
  should avoid that.

  These are the files that I think  we should not install with the main
  package:

  Dummy backend and library
  =========================

  This backend is used by folks to run some unit tests, its store all
  information in memory, and there is no use for a real app.

  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/folks/42/backends/dummy
  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/folks/42/backends/dummy/dummy.so
  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libfolks-dummy.so.25.17.0
  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libfolks-dummy.so.25

  Key-file backend
  ================

  This backend uses a "key-file" like a "ini" file to store contact
  information, is not fully implemented and the apps should avoid to use
  that.

  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/folks/42/backends/key-file
  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/folks/42/backends/key-file/key-file.so
