I'm not really interested in restricting rsync to particular
directories. That seems to be what rrsync is for, although
it's a little hard to tell -- there's also a read-only option.

FWIW, my uninformed guess is that Debian does not install
rrsync as an executable script because nobody has gotten around to
writing a it a man page. A man page is required by Debian
policy for every executable.
The good news is that rrsync is not compressed in Debian. :) The bad
news is I don't even see a bug report requesting rrsync, or
anything else in /usr/share/doc/rsync/scripts/, be executable.
