[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bootstrap of rust

Hello,

+ Paul who showed some interest in this :)

About the bootstrap, I am not sure that copying the compiler in
debian/dl/ is the best way.
AFAIK, the "right" way to bootstrap a compiler:
* Build a local instance of the compiler on your system (whatever the
method is)
* Package the newly built compiler
* Use the package to build compiler
* Upload this package

Once the package is in the archive, use the official package to build
the new version of the compiler.

However, I might be wrong here. Correct me if it is the case.

After that, we will have to cross compile it for the other archs (ARM in
priority).

Cheers,
Sylvestre
