I realized that I never replied to this.

That the "syncevolution-bundle" doesn't have dependencies for *any* of
the backends is actually intentional. It makes it possible to put
everything into one .deb without forcing users to install all
dependencies, even for those backends that they don't use.

For Evolution, "syncevolution-evolution" is a meta package which adds
the extra dependencies for EDS.

I could of course split up into "proper" packages (main, one per
backend), but that would be more complex. Ideally, distros package
SyncEvolution properly.

"SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=10 syncevolution --version" prints additional
information about which backends could (or couldn't) be loaded:

SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=10 syncevolution --version
...

Loaded backend library syncfile
Loading backend library syncecal_2 failed: libecal-2.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Loading backend library syncecal_1 failed: libecal-2.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Loaded backend library syncecal
Loading backend library syncebook_2 failed: libebook-1.2.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Loading backend library syncebook_1 failed: libebook-1.2.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Loaded backend library syncebook
...

This is normal because the EDS backends needs to be compiled multiple
times for different EDS releases.
