Let me be clearer about that.  The problem isn't tarballs, the problem
is that Evolution requires support from a truckload of stuff which
either isn't the right version in Debian Stable or isn't in there at all.

If you want Debian Stable to remain stable, to upgrade it to the point
where it would support the latest Evolution is a non-starter.

Unfortunately the version of Evolution currently in Wheezy is more or
less useless.  I can't for the life of me understand why it's in there.
If you ask for support for it here, they'll just ask you to upgrade.
Which you can't do.  I moved an substantial business from Thunderbird
to Evolution, then from Squeeze to Wheezy ... then back to Thunderbird.
