I wish there was a typo but no, there isn't. As you can see in the

Why isn't it supported if its in the official release of rsync by the
samba team? Was it hacked to work for debian isos?

Actually RSYNC_PROXY is the http proxy that some rsync clients look at to

make-pseudo-image looks at the HTTP_PROXY env variable.
some rsyncs look at the RSYNC_PROXY env variable for the http proxy
