Marking as resolved, as the rsnapshot packages does depend on liblchown-
perl as of rsnapshot 1.3.1-1 (maverick).
Regarding enabling cmd_cp by default, I would say that that is part of a
more general approach to rsnapshot.conf, such as covered by bug #278998.
I have contacted the Debian rsnapshot
It is better to enable the cmd_cp line. The conf file clearly states it
is better enabling it than installing this perl module.
I think this patch for rsnapshot.conf.default.in would fix it.

Maybe that's just because only hourly (in your configuration) really
backs up files from your productive machine/volume, while the higher
backup levels like daily and weekly just clone the hard links from
the parent level (e.g. daily.0 is a clone of hourly.0).
See the man page of rsnapshot:
Xavier, Heiko: I think the other backups than hourly just involve folder
renaming. That's why they won't have any lchown problems.
From my /var/log/rsnapshot.log:
[17/Nov/2010:03:30:01] /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: started
[17/Nov/2010:03:30:01] echo 11101 /var/run/rsnapshot.pid
Quite surprisingly it affects only hourly backups. My daily and weekly
backups run without warnings.

Please add depends for liblchown-perl, or adjust the rsnapshot.conf
defaults to link_dest 1 and cmd_cp /bin/cp as described earlier.

I was just about to file the same bug, and can confirm Håkon's findings
re liblchown-perl, and think adding a dependency would be good.
I have also updated my config file based on Håkon's suggestions above.

Perl lchown package in Jaunty: liblchown-perl
Installing this package stopped the rsnapshot lchown-warnings for me.
It should probably be a dependency of the rsnapshot package.
Perhaps a better alternative than to use rsnapshot's internal copy-function is
to use the cp binary.
