[ Reason ]
As part of Google of Summer 2025, Alex has worked on improved test coverage for the rsync package. Some of Alex's changes are already in Trixie, this is adding the latest ones.
[ Impact ]
Increased debci coverage for CVE fixes and p-u uploads to Trixie.
Back in January, a few CVE fixes for rsync were responsible for serious regressions, most notably one in the -H option, which is used in archive mode (-a):
https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/702
The goal of these new tests is to detect regressions like this in salsa-ci and debci and also provide the mechanism to easily add new end-to-end tests.
[ Tests ]
The change is only adding more autopkgtests, they all passed in salsa-ci and unstable.
[ Risks ]
The only risk is of introducing a flaky test which would have to be reverted later.
The nature of the tests is non-flaky, so the likelihood of something being missed here is minimal.
[ Checklist ]
� [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
� [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
� [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
Alex will be requesting a bookworm-pu for the improved tests as well.
