Package: unison
Version: 2.13.16-5
Severity: normal

The package contains
  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2006-02-07 00:36:58 
./usr/bin/unison-latest-stable -> unison-2.13.16

What is this symlink for? I found nothing about it in
/usr/share/doc/unison, and its manpage also just symlinks to unison's
normal manpage.

My first guess was that it represents the version of unison present in
Debian stable, so syncing with sarge hosts is easy. But for that the symlink
need be different, and contained in the unison2.9.1 package...

Perhaps it means the latest stable version of *unison* (not Debian),
so if one has development versions installed, one can opt-out of using
them? There's no un-stable version of unison in Debian, currently, so
that is not that useful here.

I'd like two things to happen:

The unison-latest-stable symlink should be documented as to what its
purpose is. Or removed if there is none. This is severity normal, I think.

Something like my first guess should be implemented, either under the
"unison-latest-stable" name, or "unison-sarge", or whatever. That's a
wishlist item.

TIA,
Robbe
