I noticed this after uninstalling Evolution and lots of evolution-
something packages. It turns out gnome-about-me uses files provided by
the "evolution-data-server" package. Now, currently "gnome-control-
center" recommends "evolution-data-server", so I probably shouldn't have
removed it. But given part of it crashes without "evolution-data-server"
being installed, wouldn't it be better to change the "recommends" to
"depends"?

Another options would be splitting the gnome-about-me program into its
own independent package, recommended by the "gnome-control-center" and
installed by default, and it alone depending from "evolution-data-
server". This way uninstalling "evolution-data-server" would warn of the
removal of gnome-about-me, but not touch anything else in "gnome-
control-center".
