Tim Edwards, there's another way to work-around this that might be
easier.  I should've added a comment on it.

For the command-line client ONLY:  http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/unison
For both graphical and command-line client:  
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/unison-gtk
Make sure to download the right architecture from below, most likely 'amd64' 
for 64-bit, or 'i386' for 32-bit.  You shouldn't need any of the dependencies; 
Ubuntu 14.04 has new-enough versions.

If you have both packages installed (no need), you'll have to upgrade
both or remove the old 'unison' package as 'unison-gtk' seems to offer
the same program.

I've had success directly downloading the .deb packages for Unison
2.48.3-1 and installing them on my desktop and laptop running Ubuntu
14.04 with latest updates.  Nothing seems to break, just a slight
sensible re-arrangement of the GUI buttons.  This isn't the best idea,
but it's a viable work-around for now.  A proper backport to trusty-
updates would be better.
