Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution (which I don't use) is installed as part of the Intrepid
package; it now requires spamassassin and gnome-pilot. These were NOT
required in 8.04. Can this change of policy be re-considered, please? I
don't want un-necessary daemons (spamd) running in my machine.

It is also extremely difficult to convince update-manager to let go of
the idea that these packages are required. Once they have been auto-
installed they continue to show up in the update-manager list, even
after evolution, evolution-data-server and evolution-plugins have been
removed, AND spamassassin and spamc, gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-
conduits, and so on.......

I am getting the feeling that I am no longer free to decide what
packages I shall run in my machine.
