rstartd is still part of the complete X distribution. The task
package says in its description "X Window System (complete)" and
"...as well as a common set of historically popular accessory
programs". For most users it would be sufficient to go with the
package task-x-window-system-core which is also mentioned in the
description. Maybe the package should include a warning about
rsh.

That is already done :) ssh provides X forwarding (even through a
secret channel) and remote starting of applications. So just
replace rstart by ssh and rstartd by sshd and adjust the
commandlines.
