If you're using Ubuntu GNOME (good choice, I do too!) then you want to
be asking on the Ubuntu GNOME mailing list: again, this list is for
upstream development of Evolution and they have no input into what
versions of Evolution are packaged for any distribution: not Ubuntu, not
Fedora, not Debian, not Ubuntu GNOME.

The Ubuntu GNOME mailing list is here: ubuntu-gnome lists ubuntu com

However, my previous answer is true for them as well: although the
Ubuntu GNOME folks do provide a GNOME-based desktop rather than a
Unity-based desktop, they do not rebuild all the GNOME packages.  And in
particular they do not rebuild the Evolution package (at least not so
far): they simply use whatever Evolution package the Ubuntu team has
created.
