I also noticed several things you began packaging in 2023 but never
made it into Debian. It is current practice in the Debian Rust
monorepo to remove packaging for things that aren't currently in
Debian. (It's git so the code is still there if someone wants to find
it in the git history.). Can I also remove that packaging or do you
want a list of the names first?

Thank you,
