Git no longer supports rsync (2016 change). Remove `Recommends: rsync` from the `git` package.
See git commit 0d0bac67ce3b3f2301702573f6acc100798d7edd. Also, it looks like git-archimport calls rsync. git-archimport is split out into a separate package `git-arch`. Add `Depends: rsync` to `git-arch`.
