The major package dependencies appear to be OK, but the debian
experimental evolution-data-server package installs "libecal.so.3.0.0",
with the soft link "libecal.so.3" pointing to it.  It seems wrong to
have a "libecal.so.0" link also, but you can get past this error by
creating one.  Once you do that though, you'll run into another similar
problem with "libebook" (i.e. evolution-data-server installs v4, while
libevolution-mail.so is looking for v3.  If you just fake it and create
a "libebook.so.3" softlink pointing at libebook.so.4, you'll be able to
run 1.5, albeit in super-scary-hack mode :o).  I'll file a debian bug
report as soon as I send this message :)

Cheers!
