I think there is some misunderstanding. Given that loom doesn't build on all 
supported debian arch but only amd64 and arm64, it was somehow decided that 
this was not ideal for czkawka which is the final binay crate that depends on 
"state" (which depends on loom).

As a team member, I thought you could update any package, anyway.

Please understand that I've started working on czkawka during the freeze of 
bookworm. This required to have approx >80 packages sponsored by a DD and it 
took almost 2 years to have sponsors (mostly werdahias, sylvestre and capitol 
(not sure of the nick)) uploading all of them to the archive. I was granted DM 
rights on rust packages on 2025-06-28, so less than 2 months ago. I think you 
understand what all that means.

I prepared multiple NEW packages that are required to update czkawka to 9.0. I 
haven't uploaded them all to master yet. Right now there are at least 7, and 
more will come. But if you feel like willing to sponsor/upload them, please 
do. See ./dev/list-rfs.sh. You could then give me DM upload rights for these 
packages.

Best regards
Fab
