Sigh. I always though that those distro-habit of changing such a folder name to something different is not a good idea, and only causing problems. No, there is no mechanism for declaring a different path for looking for the address books. It would be possible, technically, but if at all, then I would only implement this as configuration option. IMO, that's way too advanced for the average user to be presented at the UI. As always, fell free to submit an issue to ensure this request for enhancement doesn't get lost, though I doubt the core team will put any effort into this issue in the foreseeable future.
