Oh, dear, so it's in a different package, ok.
Would it make sense for unison to recommend unison2.32.52, so that one
can easily find the version to talk to squeeze?
Otherwise, just file it as PEBKAC on my side, or, well, this can
probably be merged with #659151.
It is quite frustrating to have unison-based procedures breaking at
every unison upgrade. Note that even if I hardcode the version of the
unison executables in my procedures, they would still break:
1. when things are upgraded on the other side
and
2. when I upgrade unison locally, since the upgrade will get rid of the
version of unison I'm using and won't automatically install the
compatibility package.
Alternatively, this can be handled with a unison-all package that
depends on all unison versions and I could install in all my machines.
But such a strategy would guarantee that all my procedures will end up,
over time, using the OLDEST available protocol version, even if a newer
one could be found.
I know it's not your fault, of course. Here's a little jar filled with
my tears:

can you please pass it on to upstream?
