Re-read your policy quote: "This declares a strong, but not absolute,
dependency.". Gnumeric can work without evince (so not absolute), but
you lose features, and AFAIK, it's doesn't degrade gracefully (no
feedback at all except in .xsession-errors?).
Anyway, we're not going to make xubuntu/gnumeric users lose features
because the software-center spec is a bit "special" (not to say it's too
late in the release development cycle). But, since we merge it from
Debian, if you can convince the Debian maintainer to demote evince to
Suggests, it'll be changed in ubuntu as well with the next merge (same
if upstream adds a graceful fallback).
** Changed in: gnumeric (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix
