Bug#362046: Acknowledgement (gnome-control-center: Dependency on libebook1.2-5 indirectly means any Gnome desktop dependent on Novell Evolution)

Also, looks like "libebook1.2-5" ('client library for evolution address
book') depends on "libcamel1.2-6" ('messaging backend for Evolution'),
which depends on "libegroupwise1.2-8" ('client library for accessing
groupwise POA through SOAP interface of Evolution.').

I'm not sure why "gnome-control-center" as packaged by Debian currently
is dependent on all of these libraries, but I'd really like for it not
to be.

I'll keep Gnome on my Debian systems for now, in hopes that we'll soon
make this Novell Evolution library stickiness optional rather than
mandatory.

Thanks again.
