It appears to belong to evolution-data-server-common

Mabye you could check which package the files belong to (dpkg -S), which apparently has built in some assumption about context.

I don't know if this is a bug or something else, I did a minimal net install, installed labwc, which I launch via tuigreet, its been working great except for this weird issue when trying to send a photo from my phone to my PC via bluetooth, when I run bt-obex -s ~/Downloads it would hang and the file would fail to send from my phone, eventually it would work though, but would fail again whenever I logged out and back in again

Through much trial and error it turned out to be some kind of issue with bluez/obex waiting on evolution data server (which I don't use) that would cause it to hang for 60 seconds before being usable, once I ran the following commands to essentially remove two evolution data server files by renaming them to .bak, it worked great, bt-obex now starts up straight away and file sending from my phone works great too

sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5.service.bak /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5.service

sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook10.service.bak /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook10.service

I'm also running Devuan Ceres too
