Looking at both buildlogs, I can see:

-dh_fixperms -pevolution-data-server -X usr/lib/evolution/camel-lock-helper* 
+dh_fixperms -pevolution-data-server  

So yes, it's not called in Ubuntu, but it's correctly called in Debian.
My guess would be a bug in cdbs, but anyway it's not in Debian eds
rules.

So I propose to close this bug, what do you think?

Cheers,
