I'm using debian unstable here.  (On stable it also works)

Alexl , we actually cannot say it "which it clearly doesn't [work for 
most people"  as obviously we have feedback only from people 
with unsuccessful experience with it here. 
 
It should remains in the faq as an alternative that *may* work. 
But we clearly lacks of informations about how it works and why 
it's does not work while everythings seems to be well configured 
on both parts. 
 
We added it in a hurry because rsync is, as jvm said, pretty 
uneasy to learn when unfamiliar (while the basic syntax is very 
easy, when you try complicated stuff, it becomes harder and 
harder). That explain the special status of sftp here.
