Bug#864079: ITP: backuppc-rsync -- rsync optimised for BackupPC backup utility

[Tobias Frost <tobi@debian.org>]

Hi Ludovic,

We've created a packing team for BackupPC and we intend to package
Version 4. 
Let me invite you to join our efforts at 
https://tracker.debian.org/teams/pkg-backuppc.

Otherwise, this ITP is already over one year old, so may ask you
whether you still on the packging or whether we can take over this ITP?
(If I do not hear from you within one week, I will take over the ITP;
of course you can also join our efforts afterwards)

Thanks!

tobi
