Hi

I've run with the same issue on Debian. What I did is apt-get source
gdal-bin, add gdal-rasterize in some file under the debian/ dir (can't
remember which file), and rebuild the package using dpkg-buildpackage.
It's not that source code doesn't have gdal-rasterize, it's just that,
for some reason, it's not put in the Debian package.

Hope this helps,
