I notice that libebook-contacts wasn't part of of the protobuf
transition [1], but it seems like it should have been a level 3
dependency.

I'm not sure whether that's an issue with the transition tooling or if
we're missing sufficient linkage between the packages.

Ah, that's a good idea if we want to notify folks not to install
libphonenumber8.  Perhaps I shouldn't have reassigned the bug to
evolution-data-server.  Maybe we should create a new bug (or clone this
one) and assign it to libphonenumber8?
