I believe libnss3 creates that file and needs to be able to handle it.
libnss3 might need to add a symlink directory to handle the old name.

I'm uploading a new evolution version and closing this bug. Backup
that file. If you still have the bug with evolution 3.44.1-2 with that
file (but not with that file moved or removed), I recommend filing a
serious bug against libnss3.

Note this from the debian/changelog for libsnss3 2:3.72-1
  * debian/libnss3.lintian-overrides.in, debian/rules,
    nss/cmd/shlibsign/shlibsign.c, nss/lib/pk11wrap/pk11load.c,
    nss/lib/util/secload.c, nss/cmd/shlibsign/Makefile,
    nss/cmd/shlibsign/manifest.mn: Stop putting freebl, softokn, etc. in a
    subdirectory. It's a deviation from upstream that is causing more problems
    than it's worth keeping. Closes: #737855, #846012, #979159.

Thanks,
