That depends on how you use rsync, if it's over ssh you don't need a
daemon on the other end.

Looks like it fixes bugs (reduces dependencies) by splitting out the
rsync daemon into a sub package:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rsync.git/commit/?id=4f455260f4daf71946fd9a88f2356cb25399d642

Ultimately the rpm changelog could be better/more descriptive but I
don't believe it's a bug.
