I don't plan to package synce-gvfs for Debian soon for this reason:

    "The GNOME team has decided to delay the upload of nautilus 2.22 (and
    several other similar packages) to unstable. GNOME 2.22 introduced
    the new gvfs library, a replacement for the venerable gnome-vfs,
    which is, while introducing several new features, not yet completely
    regression-free. More complex file backends, such as smb, are still not
    ready for mass-deployment."[0]

Although I could prepare a package for experimental, I'm not sure if
there's really that much point.

Thanks,
