[Evolution] Bug#426488: evolution-data-server: package description is misleading

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 1.6.3-5
Severity: minor

The Debian package description says that the data server manages
address books and calendars.  There are parts of this package (e.g.,
camel) that manage the main email functionality of evolution.

I'm not sure exactly what the scope of the package is, but it seems to
be greater than implied by the description.  This caused me some
confusion when trying to track down the sources for evolution's mail
handling.

Part of the package may be a data server component that acts as
advertised; the statement in the package description may be true, but
incomplete.
