First, sorry to not have bothered yet to submit a bug. I'm doing so now,
you'll get my mail twice, once directly, and once as a forward from the
Debian BTS. Please only reply to the latter one, as that will record
your response in the Debian BTS (and especially, do not email submit@,
because that will cause a new bug to be submitted).

Basicly, the problem is that repeated rsync -a from a source repository
can break when the source repository is replacing a directory with a
symlink.

Source repository:

drwxr-xr-x   3 jeroen   jeroen   4096 Jan 30 07:41 .
drwxr-xr-x   2 jeroen   jeroen   4096 Jan 30 07:41 ./foo
-rw-r--r--   1 jeroen   jeroen      0 Jan 30 07:41 ./foo/bah

$ rsync -a source/ target/
$ {success}

Change source repository into:

drwxr-xr-x   3 jeroen   jeroen   4096 Jan 30 07:41 .
lrwxrwxrwx   1 jeroen   jeroen      3 Jan 30 07:41 ./foo -> bar
drwxr-xr-x   2 jeroen   jeroen   4096 Jan 30 07:41 ./bar
-rw-r--r--   1 jeroen   jeroen      0 Jan 30 07:41 ./bar/bah

$ rsync -a source/ target/
rsync: delete_file: rmdir "/scratch/target/foo" failed: Directory not empty (39)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(789)
$ {failure}

$ rsync -a -K ../source/ .
rsync: delete_file: rmdir "/scratch/target/foo" failed: Directory not empty (39)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(789)
$ {failure}
