I see.

Personally I don't mind if such as small and great tool as rsync needs
to be installed at package build time. Would it be a no-go for inclusion
into Debian or is this within the liberty of being upstream?

For the following make snippet, I need a replacement not using rsync.

install:
        rsync \
                -C \
                --verbose \
                --recursive \
                --links \
                --perms \
                --times \
                --exclude Makefile \
                --exclude man-helper.bsh \
                --exclude man \
                --exclude debian \
                --exclude t \
                --exclude .gitignore \
                --exclude .gitattributes \
                --exclude COPYING \
                --exclude GPLv3 \
                --exclude build \
                --exclude clean \
                --exclude CONTRIBUTING.md \
                $(CURDIR)/ \
                $(DESTDIR)/

Ideally without inventing a big new shell script. Any idea?
