Because this is the rsync package. Nothing prevents you from making a 
"rsyncx" package, though, if it is a command line app. If it is a Mac 
OS X GUI app (Cocoa/Carbon), it shouldn't be package via Fink.

In any case the original rsync package will stay, too, for people who 
have to use the original version for various reasons.

It's all documented on the Fink web page. See:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/help/index.php
which leads to
