  Description     : fast, encrypted, and deduplicated backups powered by Rust

Restic (https://github.com/restic/restic/) is a great backup tool IMHO. The
compatible Rust implementation rustic is a lot faster and has a lot more other
features over the Golang version, for example:

- `rustic repair` command allows to repair some kinds of broken repositories
- `backup` command can use `.gitignore` files
- `restore` uses existing files; also option `--delete` available

I think that'd be a very useful utility to have in Debian.
