After tidying up, here is a PS meant as documentation:
- my hypothesis on the role of the loop-back item in /etc/backuppc proofed wrong: Debian backuppc (contrary to the backuppc documentation) simply expects pc-specific definition .pl files to figure in the top-level directory (/etc/backuppc) rather than in a separate directory specified as a link, and therefore
- the directory link (pc) from the top-level directory is not needed, this argument can be dropped (at least, backuppc works for me without such an item),
- taking these facts into account, and with a minimum number of (evident) changes to config.pl, backuppupc runs smoothly with rsyncd.
