I'm not the Debian maintainer for this package, but I doubt that it will
be much of a problem. Once they fix the bug that prevents them from
building syncevolution (which I see you're already aware of), this
should get fixed automatically.

Might be worth filing a bug with Debian about that specifically, but I'm
not an expert about this, so I don't want to file the bug myself.
Probably the new evolution-data-server should conflict with the old
libraries.
