On Debian 'rst2pdf' is provided by external project:

  $ apt-file search bin/rst2pdf
  rst2pdf: /usr/bin/rst2pdf

  $ apt-cache show rst2pdf
  Version: 0.93-4
  Maintainer: Elena Grandi <[email protected]>
  Homepage: http://code.google.com/p/rst2pdf/

It seems that docutils team is not responsible for that utility.

You should contact RH/CentOS packaging team and ask them for inclusion of
rst2pdf utility.

I managed to install CentOS in LXC container:

  sudo lxc-create -t centos -n centos2 -- --release 6.8
  sudo lxc-create -t centos -n centos2 -- --release 7

Even "yum" utility provide built-in ability to query for packages which have
certain files:

  [root@centos media]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
  CentOS release 6.8 (Final)

  [root@centos media]# yum whatprovides '*/bin/rst2pdf*'

  No Matches found

  [root@centos media]# yum whatprovides '*/bin/rst2*'
