This feels like a very bad idea, for more than one reason.

- This renamed the package, so once again, it left users running pkg
  upgrade with an outdated version.  Unless they notice it and figure
  out what the new name of the port is.
- This looks like a end user tool, so, people will want to install
  rdiff-backup, not pyxy-rdiff-backup.

All in all, I think the rename should be backed out.
