Bug#340419: gnome-control-center: gnome-about-me has incorrect eds error

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.12.1-1
Severity: normal

On a system without the evolution-data-server installed, running
gnome-about-me gives the error message "There was an error trying to get
the addressbook information. Evolution Data Server can't handle the
protocol". This is

a) incorrect, as I don't have e-d-s installed at all
(double-checking with "ps -ef | grep evo" says it's not running) and 
b) makes gnome-about-me unusable.

Maybe gnome-control-center should recommend/depend on evolution-data-server?
