>From the package description of ubuntu-standard:

  "This set of packages provides a comfortable command-line Unix-like
environment."

I would say that having rsync available fits rather well with that
description.

Regarding wanting to customizing your own flavors, but without rsync,
any particular reason why that case is worse than with any of the other
packages that ubuntu-standard depends on?

Yes, I can see it as being far from intuitive that the rsyncd service
seems to be running by default, but is actually being controlled by
/etc/default/rsync.

Title:
  ubuntu-standard is dependant on rsync installed, most end users do not
  use, rsync properly does not run but shows a checked entry in
  system>administration>services that may confuse users.
