I believe this can be fixed with a simple patch to the rules file in the Evolution Ubuntu package: if we set the BOGOFILTER environment variable before we run configure then whatever value it has will be used during the build without checking, and at runtime if the program exists the plugin will be enabled (and if not it won't be).
