The flaw reported in this message is present in *all* versions of  
Unison.  A design for a fix has been discussed, but it has not been  
implemented yet.

It would be great to have Debian distributing a version newer than  
2.9.1, which is really old now!  However...

... middle of October is really soon.  I don't know if it's possible  
to get the current development version polished up enough to become  
not just a beta but a new stable release in that timeframe.
