Bug#582173: Don't depend on evolution-exchange|evolution-mapi

Package: meta-gnome2

Currently the "gnome" metapackage depends on evolution-exchange |
evolution-mapi. My favourite desktop environment does not depend on
connectors for proprietary products and protocols, so this should not be
depended upon (at most recommended or even suggested).

I also think it is a bad sign for the main Debian desktop to _depend_ on
connector software for non-FLOSS products.

Thanks for considering this.

(And since the versions in Debian are not compatible with the recently
uploaded Evolution 2.30 packages, this means apt had to uninstall the
gnome metapackage in order for me to get the newer Evolution...)
