I had a look at the gnome-panel source ... the dependence on libedataserverui
package arises only because of the clock applet. The library is not essential
for the gnome panel itself. Unlike other applets in the gnome-panel source,
this is the only package which depends on an external program.
there are lot of libraries installed only for some option, you can start
chasing all of those but that's going to require lot of packaging
changes, multibuild, conflicts, installation complexity, etc for no real
win for users, that's not something ubuntu wants to change, you can use
gentoo if you
Dependencies that are installed by libedataserverui1.2-8
Agreed that the dataserverui library might be needed by gnome-panel,
since it shows up in popcon as very recently used. But the following
dependencies have no business sitting on a system that does not use
Evolution.
how does it make a difference to users if a lib called libedataserverui
is installed? upstream has no intention to rename the library only
because the naming is similar to the evolution software one and some
users don't want it installed because of that, the library is being used
in those

Removing evolution removes gnome-panel
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240097
You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
Desktop Bugs,
The gnome-panel packages depends of libedataserverui1.2-8 packages,
which in its turns depends of evolution-data-server-common.
However gnome-panel has no direct dependencie of evolution, so it's
possible to remove the evolution package withou remove gnome-panel.
** Changed in: gnome-panel
