Adds 2.6 and 2.8 in case we forget it with next release

In case we forget again (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163334
for reference), add 2.6 and 2.8 also.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-09-12 08:24:26 UTC 
also see
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.evolution.devel/7556
about this issue and the discussion if the evolution hackers should just remove
the version number from the symlink: "evolution-(version).desktop should rather be
evolution.desktop and that installing symlinks (sans version) [1] would
be right for launchers and menu items.", as harish wrote. according to harish,
he is going to provide a fix for the evolution side of this problem, so perhaps
jan's patches will not be needed...
