ITP: rproxy and libhsync

[Brian May <bam@debian.org>]

I am surprised that nobody has already packaged this, but I can't
seem to find it...

If nobody protests, consider this my ITP.

 Description: Transfer data using rsync like protocol
  libhsync is the next generation of librsync, and provides flexible
  checksum-based differencing.  The main application at the moment in
  rproxy, but the library should eventually be generally useful.
 Source: libhsync

 Description: Extensions to HTTP to use rsync like protocol
  rproxy adds backwards-compatible extensions to HTTP that come into
  operation when two parties to a web request understand the `hsync'
  encoding. If there are no two that can handle these extensions then
  they are silently ignored, so that the software will interoperate
  smoothly with existing systems. These parties might be the user agent
  (browser), the origin server, or intermediate proxies. At this stage
  of the project special-purpose proxies are used so that neither the
  server nor user-agent need be changed, but we expect to integrate this
  extension into popular web software in the near future.

Note: 
  I do not plan to make any alterations to the upstream source
(unless there is a policy violation). However, the upstream
author(s) have made some decisions which I don't like:
  - libhsync shared library support removed.
  - binaries used for development are not installed (except for
    libhsync.a)

If this is not acceptable, then please talk to upstream about fixing
it and/or take over the job of maintaining the package.
