Title:
  Unison incompatible between ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04

Status in unison package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The same problem as every other year:

  With every new LTS release unison becomes incompatible with the new
  and the last Ubuntu release. Even if not incompatible in a technical
  way, unison compares the version string and denies to communicate with
  a different version.

  So it is (without dirty workarounds such as running an old unison in a
  docker image) not possible to synchronize files between a 20.04 and a
  22.04 machine.

  
  Would be nice, to either have the old version available in 22.04, or the new version available in 20.04. 

  regards
