This is stupid. There is no reason at all to install 2 copies of the same
file.
It is unnecessary bloat.
Also, I strongly question the wisdom of packaging an unreleased version of
Unison, *especially* since Unison requires exact version equality on the 2
sides of a link.
The 2.9.45 source isn't even available from the unison site any more, as the
latest snapshot has changed.

I think the rsync(1) man-section notation is probably unneccessary clutter
in this scenario.
