[Pkg-rust-maintainers] build profiles [was : Re: Hi :)]

[Angus Lees]

Oh, right - I could certainly clarify the README.Debian.   I also called my
source package rustc, since that seemed to be the direction upstream was
heading (latest release is rustc-*.tar.gz and many pieces are being moved
out into separate projects).    Also, you're right - for the bootstrap
section I should talk about dpkg-buildpackage rather than apt-get source,
because that's exactly the bootstrap case ;)
