needs pinned, to Stable / Sarge:

kbhaskar bhaskarks:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 991

Package: libgssapi1-heimdal
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 991

Package: libkrb5-17-heimdal
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 991

Package: evolution
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 991

Package: evolution-exchange
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 991
