According to kklimonda, syncing might not be such a good idea. Here's what he wrote on #transmission@freenode:

<kklimonda> anoteng: it's not easily syncable
<kklimonda> anoteng: it can't be installed side-by-side with libevent 1.4.x and not all reverse dependencies build with 2.0.10
<jordan> kklimonda: could you describe how they don't sit side-by-side?
<jordan> you mentioned headers iirc
<kklimonda> jordan: yes - both libevent 1.4.x and 2.0.10 provide /usr/include/event.h
<kklimonda> jordan: which means that they can't be installed at the same time.
<kklimonda> jordan: because of that debian maintainer has decided not to prepare libevent2 package, but simply upgraded libevent to 2.0.10
