I could be wrong about Debian stable's version of librsync (it is 0.9.7) 
not working with a manually installed rdiff-backup 1.0.4 because I 
initially did not have python2.3-dev installed (which is required) and 
so the errors I saw could have been related to that even though I 
thought it was complaining about librsync.

Someone with a fresh Sarge installation should try:

# apt-get install python2.3 python2.3-dev python2.3-pylibacl 
python2.3-pyxattr librsync

# wget 
http://arctic.org/~dean/debian/rdiff-backup_1.0.4-0.cvs20060120_i386.deb

# dpkg -i rdiff-backup_1.0.4-0.cvs20060120_i386.deb

and let us know what happens.
