Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

There's a file (evolution-2.6.1/debian/evolution-2.2.desktop) which sits there for nothing.

Solution:
Delete evolution-2.6.1/debian/evolution-2.2.desktop in source package

There are two different icons for evolution (besides the useless one): one called /usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop - which appears in Start Menu under Office, and one called evolution-mail.desktop - which appears under Network menu, and is more consistent with both theme and text description.

Solution:
Delete evolution-2.6.1/data/evolution.desktop.in.in and evolution-2.6.1/debian/patches/02_icon.patch (patch appled in evolution.desktop.in.in ) and apply the patch in attachment this insert the desktop evolution-2.6.1/debian/evolution-mail.desktop in Office group.

Thanks for your bug, if that's an another entry is added by a patch that's on purpose, so that bug is not one but a feature, the office entry is for starting what component was used before, the mailer icon is to specifical start the mailer component
