Bug description:
  If i want to uninstall Evolution because i want to replace it, for
  example, with Thunderbird, i can't, because trying to un-install
  Evolution there are too much packages related to it and don't know if
  some of those packages should or shouldn't be removed.

  apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu9, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1
  1. sudo apt-get install evolution
  2. sudo apt-get remove evolution

  What happens:
  1. evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, evolution-webcal, and libevolution are installed.
  2. evolution and evolution-plugins are removed, but evolution-common, evolution-webcal, and libevolution are left installed.

  What should happen:
  2. evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, evolution-webcal, and libevolution are all removed.
