For the sake of those landing in this mail thread via search engines:
the syncevolution-bundle package >= 1.3.99.6 works with old (< 3.6) and
new EDS (>= 3.6) versions. There was a bug in the syncevolution-eds
1.3.99.6 meta data which prevents installing it with EDS >= 3.6; just
install the bundle, it has the necessary binaries. This will be fixed
(and covered by automated tests) in SyncEvolution > 1.3.99.6.
