as currently the unison-all is not usable at all as described
(see below).

The wontfix does not make any sense. The unison-all package is
described as follows:

Description: file synchronization tool (all console versions)
 This is a metapackage that depends on all supported console versions
 of Unison, a file synchronization tool.
 .
 Each of the supported versions uses a different protocol version;
 installing this metapackage ensures the ability to synchronize with
 old systems.

See the latest sentence. That's the *only* purpose of the unison-all
metapackage.

So, either you are able to fix the issue in some way via unison-all
(I can see only a rather ugly solution, though the end user would
not see the ugly part), or the issue cannot be fixed in a clean way,
and the unison-all package should just be removed from Debian as
being broken by design (co-instability of the stable versions and the
unstable version should be sufficient, without needing unison-all),
which is probably the easiest was to fix this bug.
