Those are in `proposed-updates` at the moment, I'm not sure about the timeline:

Unless you are packaging something for inclusion into Debian archives,
most of the times this is not what you should be aiming at.

I don't know the specific details of your case, but if possible I'd suggest
to pin your desired toolchain via rustup and consider building in a
sealed/containerized environment.

Ciao, Luca
