I think both points are valid, and it'd be convenient to add a
NEWS.Debian file so user are warned at install that they should
- make a backup of evo stuff (which is easy to do with the adequate   
  plugin)
- run evolution --force-shutdown *before* running the upgrade

Thanks for reporting, this will be part of the next upload.

(btw, as an user, I always do that before upgrades, just in case) (and I
even more do that now that I'm sort-of maintainer)

Cheers,
