I had a brief look during Debconf at rav1e. At the time lots of
dependencies weren't packaged. I know things are improving quickly with
Rust in Debian so this may have changed. AFAIK upstream hasn't sorted
the public API out yet or even made a release which I think are both
requirements for packaging this in Debian.
