libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1)

Can't argue with that.

libx11-6
libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2)
libxext6
libxi6
libxinerama1
libxrandr2
libxrender1 (>= 1:0.9.0.2)

Standard X libraries.  Rebuilding the package with --as-needed will
remove those.

libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.9.0)
libcairo2 (>= 1.0.2-2)
libfontconfig1 (>= 2.3.0)
libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.8.5)
libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0)
libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.10.3)

The GTK+ stack.

libglade2-0 (>= 1:2.5.1)

Utility library, very small.

libebook1.2-5 (>= 1.4.2.1)
libedataserver1.2-4 (>= 1.4.2.1)
evolution-data-server

EDS libraries.

libbonobo2-0 (>= 2.8.0)
libpopt0 (>= 1.7)
liborbit2 (>= 1:2.10.0)
libgconf2-4 (>= 2.11.1)
libgnome2-0 (>= 2.8.0)
libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 2.12.0)
libxml2 (>= 2.6.23)
zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1)

A selection of libraries that would disappear with --as-needed, and are
all bought in from evolution-data-server (new upstream releases will
remove some of those with luck).

Contacts was designed for a 64M RAM, 200MHz system, and works very well
on one of those.

Why?  If I saw a package evolution-contacts, I'd think the Evolution
package had been split up into evolution-contacts, evolution-calendar,
and so on.  This package is a totally different application that just
happens to use the same backend libraries.
