Yes, I think that it should be removed ASAP. Thus, users of
testing/unstable could still use unison2.40.102 from stable
(hoping there won't be any conflict in the near future) so
that they would be able to sync with stable machines without
requiring a backport of unison 2.48 in stable.

This is what I currently do, but since the broken unison2.40.102
is still in testing/unstable, I had to downgrade then mark it as
frozen in aptitude, so that the stable version is not replaced by
the testing/unstable version.
