It's not an internal function.  It's part of your library's public
interface, aka ABI.

I very much disagree that downgrading or closing this bug is
appropriate.  Have you done a check of the whole archive to make sure
that nothing other than evolution used this interface?  Have you added
Breaks on old evolution to make sure people don't get bitten by this
again?  I see no sign of this in the bug log, and I see no sign of you
understanding that breaking ABI compatibility is a big deal.
