And that is turning out to be more complicated than necessary because 
upstream "forgot" to use library versioning. We will have to change the 
package name and soname of libopensync and then transition all the plugins to 
the new names.

That's the kind of issue that upstream developers very likely ignore, and 
which makes their packages useless or harmful for Debian. We should encourage 
them to version their libraries correctly, so we can get the packaging right.
