Agreed.  I guess my point is:
- The package defaults to rsync over ssh.
- The official BackupPC docs describe a procedure for setting up ssh that won't
work if the backuppc user does not have a shell.
Again, not really sure if you should do anything about this...  Hopefully most
users will figure it out.
