As a Debian user, you should be aware of the Debian BTS and first take a look at bugs there [1] and particularly this one [2], where you'll find a workaround. The migration of GNOME 2.10 to testing was stuck due to various reasons; this was discussed here as well. I am upgrading my testing machine everyday and run Evo's mail component only. If it crashes on every startup, just change the GConf key apps/evolution/shell/view_defaults/component_id to "mail" (using the GConf Editor). There's no need to contact the maintainer(s) as normally this is done through the BTS.
