Oh, yes, before I forget: I do have a version 2.30 installed by default
on that maverick host. To make sure the newly built versions of the 
Calendar and Addressbook services in /opt/evo are started I did the 
following:

* As  super user
Renamed /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar.service
to something else. Same with 
org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook.service.

* I created a file called /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf containing:

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
        "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
        "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd";>
<busconfig>
    <servicedir>/opt/evo/share/dbus-1/services</servicedir>
</busconfig>


For some reason, dbus always looks into /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ and
starts the called-for services it finds there, regardless of
session-local.conf. I did not want to uninstall evolution because it
would entail an avalange of other packages being removed, which I would
like to keep. Therefore the rename. Unfortunately, you have to do this
rename every time, update-manager updates the installed version of
evolution. Sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe, some of the experts on
this list know a better approach.
