Personally I'd say no, but this is for a ppa/unstable so it probably has
different considerations. At the same time, this is a request from
upstream. Ubuntu Lucid still has 0.22 and I've packaged my testing ppa
with 0.39 to provide that.

Yes, they don't install because they both claim libopensync.so, the
newer unstable one probably shouldn't. All other files don't seem to
overlap.

Thoughts on how to do this?
Thanks for your answers so far.
