Thank you very much Mark.

I would love to help, however I lack the skills to do so.  I also do not 
see why Scott was so angry even after reading the (useful) link he gave me.
He hasn't replied to the email I sent to him directly.

>From the email I got from Takuo I have to believe he needs help in this 
process as well.  I am learning, but it is a big learning curve to 
package maintainer guruhood.  That's why I am subscribed to this list.  
I am doing my best to do my homework to get up to speed.  Pointers are
appreciated when I am obviously missing some information.  Profanity is
not appreciated.

So, back to the issue at hand.  The update_excuses looks like this:

* evolution/alpha unsatisfiable Depends: libgnome-pilot1 (>= 0.1.63) ['gnome-pilot']
* out of date on arm: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.99.2-1)
* evolution/i386 unsatisfiable Depends: libgnome-pilot1 (>= 0.1.63) ['gnome-pilot']
* out of date on ia64: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.99.0-2)
* out of date on m68k: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.15-3)
* out of date on mips: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.99.0-2)
* out of date on mipsel: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.99.2-1)
* out of date on powerpc: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.99.2-1)
* out of date on s390: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.99.2-1)
* out of date on sparc: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.99.0-2)
* Not considered
* Depends: evolution gnome-pilot

Would fixing libgnome-pilot1 or changing this to a recommend instead of
depend allow evolution to move into woody?  MUST all platforms be fixed
simultaneously?

Thank you in advance,
