Bug#947186: evolution-data-server: Please omit evolution-data-server{, -tests} on Ubuntu/i386

[Steve Langasek]

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 3.34.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu focal ubuntu-patch

Dear maintainers,

In Ubuntu, we are in the process of moving the i386 architecture to a
compatibility-only layer on amd64.  We are keeping evolution-data-server on
i386 because it is a build-dependency of bluez, but the server binary
packages built from this source have dependencies on other packages that are
not being kept as part of the compatibility library set (gnome-keyring).

We would like to drop the evolution-data-server and
evolution-data-server-tests packages rather than keeping them around in the
Ubuntu archive and uninstallable.  Would you please consider applying the
attached patch, or something like it, to omit building this binary package
on Ubuntu?

Thanks for considering,
