There is a gnome-package, that doesn't compile without evolution-data-server (I forgot the name, unfortunatly). So evolution-data-server must to be installed. Anyway: with the eds-useflag, you can ONLY disable the build of evolution-data-server-related features of certain packages. Even if you disable it, there may be packages, that don't recognize the use-flag and have a hard dependency on evolution-data-server. These packages need evolution-data-server for being compiled. There is no way around this! The gentoo-guys can do nothing about it.
