I do not think this is a bug.

Evolution is more than just your email client.

See the date picket up in the top right of your *Gnome* desktop panel?

That ties to your Evolution calendar, as do other apps which I am not 
familiar with.

If you use Synaptic and check what deps are going to be pulled when you 
select various Evo packages (and obviously cancelling the ones which 
list half of Ubuntu!), you can remove *most* of them without trashing 
your setup.

I use Thunderbird and usually remove much of Evo when I build a new distro.

A bug? No.

Annoying? Yes.

Likely to change in the foreseeable future? No.
