Howdy,

It's a fork, they have the same end goal and at this point use compatible protocols, but Barrier is not a renamed Synergy. Synergy still exists and as far as I'm aware they still have releases so it'd be improper to add a transitional package to Barrier from Synergy. Synergy even still exists in the Debian (and Ubuntu) archives.
