We discussed this on irc a while back, and apparently the package is important
to debos. Though the package relationship is only a "suggests".

I looked at porting this, but came to the conclusion that is beyond what
I could reasonablly do. IIRC zbus moved from sync rust to async rust
and there was no porting guide.
