It mostly depends on which Debian release you use. Debian branches the
latest* version at freeze time and then maintains the packages applying
security fixes.

A quick search shows:
stretch and sid: evolution 3.16.3
jessie: evolution 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1
wheezy: evolution 3.4.4-3
squeeze: evolution 3.4.4-3

As you see, there's no match to the alledged 10.4 claim. However, as
Chromixium seems to be based on Ubuntu LTS,¹ it is probably using
evolution 3.10.4 from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (aka trusty).
