Thanks Greg.  This is how I ended up doing it:

apt-get install apt-src
mkdir foo
cd foo
apt-src install ximian-connector
ls
cd ximian-connector-1.4.7.2/
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
(got an error with regards to perl xml somthing)
apt-get install intltool
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
dpkg -i evolution-exchange_1.4.7.2-1_i386.deb

VERY NICE!  Thanks to Novell for open sourcing the connector!

And thanks to all the debian-users for helping me get this in.

Andy
