I would also be uncomfortable with hard KDE dependencies. One thing is a general scepticism against “polluting” the file system: Many GNOME users don’t want KDE dependencies, even though this might technically be a non-issue. A bit more severe is the question of download size, it will simply make the installation of SyncEvolution, but also future OS updates (those affecting the KDE libs) slower. If splitting the relevant code into separate modules is too much work, and if the lack of these dependencies can be handled at runtime, maybe having them as Suggests instead of Depends is a solution? I think current Ubuntu installs Recommends, but not Suggests. But in Software Center, these packages are listed as “Extensions”.
