Aren't the above three packages *from* pilot-link? So that wouldn't seem to
require a separate rebuild. Also, I don't see libpisock++ in experimental;
is it no longer being provided? It doesn't seem to have any reverse deps in
testing, so dropping it isn't really a problem AFAICS if this is what's
happened.

Well, I don't imagine that we'll be dropping evolution from Debian for this
reason. 341172 has a patch, but you report that it's not enough to get the
package building with libpisock9. Can you please work with the evolution
maintainers to find a solution to this before uploading to unstable, since
a blocked evolution in unstable can cause other problems rather quickly?
Otherwise, I don't have any objections to this transition.
Thanks,
