Some questions about this:
     1. Is setting remoteIdentifier necessary? I remember that you found
        it to be unnecessary. As long as we are unsure how exactly
        phones identify their peers (MAC address or identifier?), we
        might be better of not setting remoteIdentifier and thus using
        the unique deviceId instead, to allow syncing the same phone
        with multiple desktops. Setting "remoteIdentifier=PC Suite" then
        becomes a tip for users of phones which depend on it.... [a bit
        later]... you already have it under "trouble shooting", so I
        think it can be removed at the beginning.
     2. When enabling "super" datastore, a hint is needed that this does
        not yet work as described with 1.0 alpha 1 (MB #8424). As a
        workaround, manually creating the source first should do the
        trick (mkdir ~/.config/default/sources/super).
     3. When using a "super" datastore, should the user do
        "syncevolution myphone super" or "syncevolution myphone calendar
        todo"? It seems that setting "uri=super" for calendar and todo
        makes the later possible, but doesn't that lead to duplicate
        entries in the SAN? "syncevolution myphone super" might not work
        because "uri" is not set - is that necessary?
     4. Troubleshooting "3. Change your database name" -> Change your
        URI, right? The local database name remains fixed, only the name
        specified via the "uri" property can be changed.
