Because that's what distros do -- providing a working set of apps. :)
The original post mentioned mail-notification working with Evo 2.4,
which changed when upgrading Evo to 2.6. Caring about such issues is one
of the core duties of a distro. If they are going to update any app or
library, they absolutely need to make sure that any app that depends on
it still works afterwards.
(In this special case though we should not forget that Evo 2.6 is in
Debian testing/unstable only. Whoever opts to use a non-stable branch
must expect possible breakage anytime.)
