After fiddling with the build system I think I have Debian Jessie and
Testing/Stretch covered. So thanks for the offer, but unless someone
wants to have "official" Debian packages backported, there's no need.

I'm still not sure what binaries and features users really need
nowadays. While testing, I noticed that Akonadi has issues on Debian
Stretch (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97609). To move
forward with that, I would have to write a simpler reproducer, then file
a bug against Debian and/or Akonadi.

Tino, can you reproduce the same with the Debian packages
(https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/syncevolution-libs-kde/filelist)?

It could be specific to my test environment (X11 provided by VNC only
because Akonadi no longer runs headless, no KDE session).

Is anyone still using SyncEvolution with Akonadi?
