The newest Evolution corresponds and somewhat apparently draws upon certain libraries that are also used by Mozilla 1.3, which Galeon does not yet support. Remember, Galeon requires Gecko from Mozilla, and rather than extracting the code as a fork and including it as part of the Galeon package, it instead requires to be tuned to work with a selected version of Mozilla. It hasn't (at least in shipping Debian packages) been tuned to Mozilla 1.3 yet. As such, with Mozilla moving forward in conjunction with Evolution, Galeon would no longer work, and hence is removed. -- Mark L.
