Under Debian ssh provides rsh:
% ls -l /usr/bin/rsh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jan 16 02:35 /usr/bin/rsh ->
/etc/alternatives/rsh*
mrvn@dual:~% ls -l /etc/alternatives/rsh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 29 12:16 /etc/alternatives/rsh ->
/usr/bin/ssh*
That way, rsync uses ssh when its configured to be the rsh
replacement, as it usually is.
I would suggest adding a link for rsh to ssh on your system.
