I agree we should move it universe and if the new Debian maintainer is active 
keep it there, otherwise just purge it from our archives.

evms has always been a bit of an issue for us. Do we still want to support it at 
all? I wouldn't mind to see evms in universe too.
Our installer doesn't cope with it (neither desktop or text) and afaict only a 
few expert users can benefit from it.
