The content of evolution-source-registry.service suggests it uses a
binary (/usr/libexec/evolution-source-registry) that is only available
in evolution-data-server. Therefore the package assignment is correct.
The main issue is that obexd depends on evolution-data-server, but it is
not added as a recommended/suggested package in bluez-obexd. Therefore,
unless other packages pull evolution-data-server in, bluez-obexd would
not work properly, and the computer would be advertised as an audio
device instead of a computer that can receive files.
Obexd depending on some heavy GNOME libraries is indeed awkward.
However, this is not Debian's fault. Ideally, obexd can be made
DE-agnostic, as 1087689 proposed.
