I have a big problem with unison : stable release is far from
experimental release. A lot of bugs are fixed in experimental release.
Upstream don't have a bug tracking system and it is pretty hard to know
precisely which issue are corrected, and when...
The only option i see is to package a more recent version. But it will
break what the fact that only stable version of unison are packaged...
