Good idea, I'll update my packages...

I don't see much reason for us to provide an automated upgrade, if upstream 
didn't care to do it. Based on the state of the software in v0.19, and 
especially the frontends, I would think not many people use it seriously 
anyway. So a NEWS.Debian message seems to be enough.

The following part of the release announcement for 0.22 should probably be 
included kin README.Debian:

"WARNING:
OpenSync is still in early stages of development. Please don't sync
without a full backup and only sync if you are able to restore from
your backup! Please follow the plugin's README prior to using a plugin!"
