Evolution is now extracting information from those schemas as part of a
new centralized settings management subsystem, so the schemas have to be
there whereas before they didn't (and in fact we were missing quite a
few in older versions).
The Makefiles are set up automatically install schema files, but only if
you are -NOT- using a custom install prefix, which I assume you are (I
am too). I'm not sure I fully understand the rationale for that, but I
looked at some other GNOME modules that I consider to be well maintained
and they're using similar logic. I assume the intent is to help avoid
screwing up your GConf settings.

I think just as needed is fine. I've been careful to only add new
schemas and not change or remove existing ones.
I suspect there's a better way to manage this, but it hasn't occurred to
me yet.
