Upstream provides binary builds for many different platforms! Here:
https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/releases

Currently the latest Unison there is 2.52.1, and the latest OCaml compiler is 4.14.0, so I installed "unison-v2.52.1+ocaml-4.14.0+x86_64.linux.tar.gz" (2022-05-08) into /usr/local/bin/ on both my Ubuntu 20.04.5 (focal) and 22.04.1 (jammy) machines. That works!

So, since the Unison author provides binary builds that seem to work everywhere, shouldn't the Ubuntu packaging problem reduce to simply providing those exact same binaries for EACH version of Ubuntu, either in its main repository or in backports?
