Can you include rsync in packages ?

I don't understand your request, as rsync is already in the base Alt-F.

It is launched by inetd on request, the same as ssh, telnet, ftp, the web 
pages, etc.
The advantage is that it only runs when needed, not consuming memory.

If you invoke rsync as "rsync -daemon" in the box, that you will have "rsyncd". 
That is exactly what inetd does:

~ # cat /etc/inetd.conf 
...
rsync   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr//bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon 
--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf
...
