I was unclear: that's my Evolution version number.  (If you think that's
old for an Evolution version, Debian 2.2 was obsoleted by Debian 3.0
nine years ago!)

I checked Debian Backports
(http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=evolution&searchon=names&section=all&suite=squeeze-backports)
for newer releases, but the closest thing they have is Evolution
addressbook support for libreoffice.  Debian Unstable uses Evolution
3.2.2, but I think I've read that you have to be know what you're doing
and be lucky to run Unstable packages on Stable (aka Squeeze).  

If anyone had success building it from scratch on Debian Stable, that
would be good news.

Thanks,

Bill

PS: Debian tends not to pre-announce new releases, IIRC.  Somewhere I
thought I gathered the next Debian release might be later this year.
