Interestingly, evolution-data-server seems to be a runtime-only dependency. I discovered this when I first installed Geary and found it would not launch - I only figured out the issue because a Debian developer friend had apparently run into the error message it threw and knew the cause. As far as I can tell, not even the Geary git repository itself makes any mention of this - perhaps because it's considered a core part of GNOME? I couldn't say. Regardless, the package does in fact build fine without evolution-data-server.
