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.
