I've never used, or even knew existed, Funambol packages for any distro.
I use the bundled version provided by the Funambol project and just
install it into /opt/Funambol.

It is important to note that a 1-click install of Funambol to a working
deployment is *NOT POSSIBLE*.  Mobile device support is too complex and
site/implementation specific.  Someone could provide such a package for
a specific groupware service and set of devices (or versions of a device
- this matters allot!), but not a general purpose sync solution.   You
always have to test.
