syncing isn't ready, I recommend taking 0.19 out of the repositories
and waiting until Hardy+1 or until there is actually some developer
time to do something useful with opensync. Put versions 0.2x and 0.3x
in multiverse or just leave them to outside repositories.

You can't keep 0.19 at all, it has no functionality and it's worth
keeping. 0.2x and 0.3x have different plugins available to them and if
you ever ship with them then you need to start thinking about how to
ship with hardware support for syncing, i.e libbarry-0.19

Besides there isn't really any GUI ready, and no one is talking about
it or wanting it from the developers community. I say we talk again
about syncing at UDS. Invite conduit too.
