And? There's only evolution (and kab) as adress book drivers in OOo.
(except the infamous mozilla one which needs internal headers of a heavily
patched obsolete mozilla and therefore doesn't build against a "normal" Debian
ice*/xulrunner)
So you expect a function to work if the only connectors for it being there
are not installed?
What do you expect OOo to do? Merge -evolution into -base? (And force
a libebook-1.2-9 on anyone? Only suggest libebook-1.2-9? Which would make
people wonder why their stuff doesn't work?)
