+reach out to the maintainers if you'd like to help with that.
+
+This is Debian's prepackaged version of Andrew Tridgell and
+Paul Mackerras' rsync utility.
+
+This package provides the rsync program, which is a replacement
+for rcp that uses the rsync algorythm to transfer only the
+differences between two sets of files.
+
+This package was put together by Philip Hands <phil@hands.com>,
+from sources obtained from:
+ http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.5.4.tar.gz
+The current version was downloaded from:
+ https://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.2.0.tar.gz
+on 2018-12-02 by Samuel Henrique <samueloph@debian.org>.
+
+See the debian/patches/ directory for the Debian specific changes.
