That's because Evince is only among the "Recommends" for lxde,
not one of the "Depends".

Have not really tried it exhaustively. But since it's the direction
upstream decided to follow, it will eventually replace LXDE. Unless

is not very likely - given that Gtk2 is effectively dead, and
Gtk3 is a mess.

dependencies compared to Atril, IIRC.
