Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

On a fresh install of Feisty, my first attempt to start evolution resulted in a warning dialog which urged me to uninstall it and install the current stable release instead.

The user has already been warned that they are installing a pre-release version of Ubuntu, so it's unnecessary to repeat this in individual applications, and there's no straightforward way for users to downgrade their evolution even if they wanted to.

Therefore, I think this dialog should be suppressed in Ubuntu.

I'll fix that with the next upload, the new version is a stable one and has no unstable warning then so there is no hurry
