Public bug reported:

The unison package exists for only one reason - to allow a directory
tree to be synchronised between different computers. But unison does not
work unless similar versions are installed on both machines.

In Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.20 only unison-2.48 is available but unison-2.40
and earlier versions are in use on supported Ubuntu releases as well as
on other Debian-based systems. Ubuntu is also available on many non-
Debian systems.

The bug is that more unison versions need to be available on all
currently supported Ubuntu releases. The Ubuntu package unison-all is
meant to include all the necessary versions of unison but on 16.04 and
16.10 only unison-2.48 is available. As a minimum unison-2.40 is
required to be included in unison-all for 16.04 and 16.10.
