[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#847533: Update for new programming language sections

[Josh Triplett]

Source: gambas3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The attached patch provides an update with new archive sections for programming
language packages.  See https://bugs.debian.org/753480 and
https://bugs.debian.org/845576 for more on the new sections.  ftpmaster has
approved adding the two new sections, conditional on support for them in the
various packages with lists of archive section names.

We'd like to include support for these sections in the next stable release of
Debian, so that packages from stable can process packages from testing,
unstable, experimental, backports, and third-party archives without
encountering unknown section names.

Please consider applying this patch and uploading a version with this patch
included in either December or early January, to allow plenty of time for the
upload to propagate to testing before the freeze in early February.

Thank you,
Josh Triplett
