Ludo,
No, rsync-bpc isn't usable without BackupPC. Your name sounds fine
(although it would be good to have a consistent package name across others
flavors - are there any already?).
No, 3.1.2 isn't ready for use.
The main upgrade risk area is around rsync config parameters and arguments
not being compatible between 3.x and 4.x. Configure.pl tries to
extract $Conf{RsyncSshArgs} (a new 4.x setting) from the old
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd}
setting.
