@Bernd "not being seeded" means that unionfs-fuse isn't in the set of packages that define what goes into the Ubuntu 'main' component. In summary this is done by choosing some "seed" packages and computing their (build-)dependency tree, see [1,2] if you want to know more.

Automatic syncing of unionfs-fuse from Debian won't happen at the moment because the package in Ubuntu has Ubuntu specific changes. By looking at the package changelog these are:

* No change rebuild to pick up -fPIE compiler default
* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1476699). Remaining changes:
  - debian/control: Add Multi-Arch: foreign.

Of course only the second one is a "real" change. If you can add

  Multi-Arch: foreign

to d/control in Debian then we can make unionfs-fuse auto-sync again to Ubuntu. See [3,4] for more details in Multi-Arch.
