[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#955208: Bug#955208: rustc: rustup is not available on Debian

[Ximin Luo]

Hi all,

I agree that rustup should be in Debian. Achieving this is currently blocked on either of these two issues:

- https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/835 OR
- https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo/-/merge_requests/22

If you want to help, achieving either of these would help to unblock progress.
