Bug#280196: default applications capplet thinks that the executable for Evolution is "evolution-1.6", but in Debian it's "evolution-2.0" or just "evolution"

Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.8.0-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties

I wonder why it's hard-coded there, I don't think that it's good, but
there's a problem with it. When I select "Evolution" as my default mail
client, it sets the executable binary to "evolution-1.6". While the
current Debian's (SID) evolution is 2.0 with "evolution-2.0" or just
"evolution" executable in /usr/bin. So I have to enter the command by
hand or it won't work. That's annoying. Please, can you add support for
evolution-2.0 in this capplet. Thanks for your work. Bye!

P.S. Sorry for my English.
