The behaviour you want is already there. Just use the rsync-transfer.
(And maybe activate the --checksum option as explained in the docs.)

Then the first full will be a full, second full and following will be a
comparison of remote and backuppc's filelist with respect to
modification-date _and_ checksum. So files will be transfered if they
have changes in meta-data and even if they only have changes in the data
itself.
Incrementals will always just transfer files with changed meta-data.

This is different when you use smb- or tar-transfer, there a full is a
full transfering everything...

Have fun,

Arnold
