The dependency has been moved from bluez to bluez-obexd. See https://bugs.debian.org/1123793 for why this dependency was added. Debian's bluez-obexd has been using libebook from evolution-data-server since 5.79-1 (2024) for better integration with apps that use evolution-data-server. This configuration change was copied from Ubuntu which had been doing it since 2016. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
