See the reality. 1) Remote repository support (FTP / SFTP) need cURL _and_ threadar[1] libraries. However the latter is not packaged. 2) Binary deltas need (a recent) librsync release[2] which is 2.0.2 version at the moment. However only 0.9.7 is packaged for Sid[3] (highly outdated), have an open security issue[4] for five years(!) - then it doesn't provide a static library (compiled with --disable-static) which is needed for dar. Otherwise everything is fine.
