I can't find anything comparable for Debian (Ubuntu 8). apt-get can't
find anything called "evolution-pilot". Even search strings like
"evolution pilot" (no quotes and with or without a hyphen) on the Ubuntu
site yield absolutely nothing. Doing this in Google only leads me to rpm
packages, and I am not sure I would want to use alien unless I am
desperate.

This brings up an instance of Gpilot. My info is already there. I am
still not convinced that Evolution is aware of any of this info.

I missed something. Yes to "what" question?

My ID is already on gpilot, if that is what you are talking about.

Yes, the backup data is all there. I can read it in jpilot, but I have
never read it under evolution, and can't read it now. (Jpilot has its
own separate issues which make it only faintly useable -- and then only
if gpilot is running).
