Bug#595070: Attempting to uninstall evolution-data-server forces removal of gnome-core, gnome-panel, etc.

[PolicyKit]

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:2.30+1
Severity: normal

I'm filing this bug against gnome-core because I wasn't sure where to put
it.The bug also relates to other gnome packages as listed below. For the first
complaint related to this issue, please see Bug Report #563484.

I just did a full-upgrade, and was forced to either accept the addition of
evolution-data-server or not complete the upgrade. (I ran aptitude with the
''-R' switch, but it made no difference). As far as I know nothing else I have
installed makes use of this package. So after I completed the upgrade, I tried
to remove evolution-data-server; but I would have been forced to also remove
gnome-accessibility, gnome-applets, gnome-control-center, gnome-core, gnome-
panel, and gnome-session. Surely the gnome packages listed above don't REALLY
require evolution-data-server and its related deps in order to function?

In Bug Report #563484, Josselin Mouette stated that evolution-data-server can
be removed without affecting gnome-core, etc. But I can find no way to remove
evolution-data-server without removing these other critical components.
