I package the files that I get out of the nightly build/testing. It's
mostly a quick hack, though, and not something that a distro should
adopt. Also note that activesyncd depends on a more recent libwbxml than
the one currently found in Linux distros.

I'm currently trying out packaging of activesyncd and
syncevolution-activesyncd per distro (currently Wheezy, Saucy, Trusty ->
activesyncd-wheezy, syncevolution-activesyncd-wheezy, etc.) and the base
name just being a meta package which depends on one of the others.

That is necessary because each of these distros has seen incompatible
changes in EDS (3.4 -> 3.6 -> 3.10) and/or libical (.so.0 -> .so.1).
Debian Testing/Unstable would not be covered at the moment. I pinged the
libical maintainer and asked him to package libical1; once that is in,
the Saucy package (EDS 3.8 + libical1) should work.
