Bug Description
Due to an oversight be me we need to pull unison2.32.52 into precise for compatibility with servers running older distros.
It is the same package as was in precise before, so no regressions should be introduced by it.
The package is coinstallable with unison, see the install logs attached below.
I added the required patches from the unison package to the 2.32 fork
debian changelog:
unison2.32.52 (2.32.52-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove unison-gtk alternative on uninstall (Closes: #656355)
* Fix link order to list C objects before the libraries they require
(Closes: #657423)
* Add myself to Uploaders, remove Sylvain

unison2.32.52 (2.32.52-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Team upload
* Fork a unison2.32.52 package, to maintain compatibility with squeeze
* debian/control:
- replace Conflicts by Replaces/Breaks
- bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2 (no changes)

original report:
Unison is a strange program in that in needs to run on all machines.
Ubuntu has shipped unison-2.32 for a long time, alongside unison-2.27.57 practically forever.
In precise (12.04), the package has suddenly changed. However, I've got many Ubuntu LTS servers and at work I use older Ubuntu desktop, and now I can't sync my laptop! Which is kinda grave. :-)
The easy fix is to do as you've done before, let people have an upgrade path. You couldu probably remove unison-2.27.57 now, and rather replace it with a unison-2.32 compat instead.
Thanks :-)
