Hi,

I *think* debos/fakemachine was the last reason to keep rust-libslirp in
Debian. That's no longer the case.

Upstream fakemachine 0.0.13 removed its user-mode-linux backend, which
used libslirp-helper. golang-github-go-debos-fakemachine 0.0.13-1
dropped its Suggests on libslirp-helper and user-mode-linux. Since debos
1.1.8-1, which builds against fakemachine 0.0.13, debos has also dropped
them and no longer uses libslirp-helper at all.

>From the debos/fakemachine side, nothing stops rust-libslirp from being
removed. I think a removal would be fine, rather than porting it to the
newer zbus/zvariant.


Thanks!

Chris
