$ apt-cache search evolution | grep plugin
evolution-exchange - Exchange plugin for the Evolution groupware suite
evolution-plugins - All bundled plugins for Evolution 2.2
libmultisync-plugin-evolution - Ximian Evolution plugin for MultiSync

I don't use Evolution, but looks like it is there: "apt-cache policy
evolution-plugins" says it is in "main".

Not really that hard to find... a search in Synaptic would have found it
as easily as I did, and it took a matter of seconds to type " apt-cache
search evolution | grep plugins" and the rest of the commands.
