Yes. The 4 last packages are provided by pilot-link so, of course, they
compile with pilot-link 0.12.1.

Exact. The C++ API (libpisock++) is no more provided by pilot-link
0.12.x. I don't know why but the libpisock++ directory has been removed
from the source code. This package is not used by Debian so it should
not be a problem.

I discovered that sid has evolution 2.6.3 and the last upstream stable
version of evolution is 2.8.0 (see
http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/download.shtml). I also found a
patch to add support of pilot-link 0.12.x in evolution 2.8.0 in
http://www.mail-archive.com/gnome-pilot-list@gnome.org/msg00557.html.
Fortunately this patch also applies cleanly on evolution-2.6.3 and I was
able to rebuild the Debian evolution package.
I sent the needed patch to #341172 for inclusion.
