I thought this was only for major versions. Anyway, there's still
the workaround that was used in past Debian releases (e.g. jessie):
provide the version from the previous release too, then make the
unison-all package depends on both packages. I've just submitted
a RFP bug for unison2.48.3:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880541

IMHO, the current unison package should not enter testing before
unison2.48.3 is available, or this would annoy users who synchronize
between testing and stretch (AFAIK, synchronization between
sid/testing and jessie was working too before this upgrade).

This is a known issue, and not easy to fix. Upstream is not interested
to make unison compatible with other versions of itself (or same version
compiled with another version of OCaml): Unison is designed to work only
with the same version, period.
