Dear Zack;

Please feel free to grab the current packages from collab-maint

debcheckout libsynthesis
debcheckout syncevolution

(I have a feeling this is one person I don't have to explain debcheckout
to)

The packages seem to work ok, but I'm currently trying to figure out why
the calculated dependency of libsynthesis is wrong. I've updated the
symbol files, but somehow dpkg-shlibdeps is not picking that up. I
tested with the old libs and it fails in mysterious ways. I'll post a
request for help to -devel or -mentors a bit later. 

Anyway, just make sure you install libsynthesis 3.4.0.5+ds1-1, even if
apt thinks 3.0.35+blah is ok.

I suppose ~b2a is a bit cryptic. I don't mind either way, really, as
long as it starts with b.
