Package: evolution-data-server
Severity: normal

Per bugs 1092631 823492 841909 842015 842334 842908 845565 853066
559101 801247 and 795368, it would be really neat if any machine that
had evolution installed didn't also mandate pinentry-gnome3.

desktop pulls in evolution.  evolution pulls in evolution-data-server.
evolution-data-server mandates gnome-keyring.  Gnome-keyring (probably
sensibly) mandates pinentry-gnome3.

But evolution doesn't appear to actually need gnome-keyring.  Maybe
"recommends" would be a better option?  Or
gnome-keyring|pinentry-gtk2|pinentry-qt (still only recommends,
because you don't *need* gpg keys in order to be able to read and
answer email) or something like that.
