Wouldn't that make the build always need network connectivity to run rsync? If I have an apt cache with all udebs, I can use the current build tree while I am offline. If this were not possible, I would not be able to work on the installer. What about the eventual goal (stated in TODO in the current tree) of pulling in library dependencies? Rsync would seem to defeat that too. And there's nothing stopping someone who really wants to from setting up apt to use rsync as its underlying transport. Patches already exist. Seems pointless though; the transfers needed to do builds are maneagable even on dialup without rsync. -- see shy jo
