Package: rsync;Maintainer for rsync is Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org>; Source for rsync is src:rsync (PTS, buildd, popcon).

Three basic behaviours are possible when rsync encounters a symbolic link in the source directory. By default, symbolic links are not transferred at all. A message 'skipping non-regular' file is emitted for any symlinks that exist. If -links is specified, then symlinks are recreated with the same target on the destination. In this case, only things of -type l (symbolic link, according to man find) will be printed to find's 'standard output'. These files become the 'standard input' of the rsync command's -file-from option. I haven't actually tested this, but it seems to me that it should work.
