i think the more appropriate solution would be have have backuppc check for the required program at an appropriate time. just as during startup. also, in the CGI interface have it check for rsync when trying to select the rsync method and throwing an error. i dont really like having a 'big bang' type install method that just dumps a ton of programs and their dependancies that i wont use AND may open up network ports AND may use extra system resources.
I don't know about Debian, but Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS/etc. have a policy that installing a package should never automatically enable a daemon, so installing a package will never open up a network port or use system resources (except for taking up some diskspace). I guess the packager should just follow the distro guidelines unless they are not saying anything about the issue.
