In the meantime, i found out that tar is a new upstream version and the behaviour of searching for rmt changed. The README says, it now looks into $prefix/libexec/rmt by default because it installs rmt in that location in the upstream version. This can be changed by the new DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND variable to configure.
As the Debian package does not install rmt into /usr/libexec/rmt, maybe it should make use of DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND and set it to a sane location for other Debian systems. If you don't feel this is right, you can close the bug as there's also a runtime tar commandline option that does the same thing.
