Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution has been ported to GVFS APIs since version 2.23.1 as per following note in NEWS file.
*********
        #526739: Ported gnome-vfs to gvfs (Milan Crha)
*********

I also checked that configure script is not checking for gnomevfs development package nor any source file referring to gnomevfs headers. And just to make sure that my analysis was correct I did a test build in my PPA by removing libgnomevfs2-dev build dependency.
Test build - https://edge.launchpad.net/~onkarshinde/+archive/ppa/+build/1690050

Please drop this build dependency as evolution seems to be one of the very few packages pulling gnomevfs in default install.
