Thanks for this report, YannUbuntu. In Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.21
(and probably much earlier), this seems fixed. Choosing to remove
Evolution asks only for you to confirm removal of the Evolution plugins.
There are problems with that dialog (bug 844014, bug 844025, bug
844028), but it is quite simple.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  Uninstalling Evolution is not simple

Status in Ubuntu Software Center:
  Invalid
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  - open Ubuntu Software Center
  - try to uninstall Evolution (some users don't use any groupware)
  -> The user is warned that 4 "obscure" packages would also be uninstalled, but the user does not know if it is safe or not !

  If it is safe, it should be smooth and transparent for the user. If
  not, those 4 packages should not be uninstalled.
