So, it turned out that 0.40 packages did not land in time for hardy.
Shipping another Ubuntu release with the 0.19 packages is not really
acceptable, so I propose to ship 0.22 as a stop-gap measure instead.

I have uploaded those packages to Debian unstable over the last two
weeks and just now to Launchpad's debian-opensync PPA:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/debian-opensync/ubuntu hardy main

If we don't drown in critical bug reports on those in the next couple of
days, I will try to get a freeze exception for them to have something
barely useable in hardy.

The grand picture is yet to be determined.
