But anyway: If Mavericks Evince needslibevdocument2= 2.30.1-3ubuntu1 then it should indicate that, i.e. with proper dependency models.
I'm just again trying to install the maverick evince on lucid, and it doesn't update libevdocument2:
muelli@xbox:~$ sudo apt-get install -t maverick evince

It's easy enough to reproduce: Have a lucid installation (fair enough assumption ;-) ) and then try to install mavericks evince via apt-get install -t maverick evince. Then, evince wouldn't work anymore.

I had installed libevdocument2 myself to make it work. So clearly, mavericks evince should depend on a recent enough libevdocument2.
