I found some additional information, on 1.5.3 (on Devuan beowulf) 
"syncevolution --print-databases" shows the following:

but on 2.0.0 (on Devuan chimaera) the maemo related entries are not present:

so maybe there's something else going on here. The backend is available 
on 2.0.0:

> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/syncevolution/backends/syncmaemocal.so

but I'm curious why it's databases are not showing up - that's probably 
directly related to the issue I described in my previous email. I'll 
keep digging.
