Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have marked haskell-tldr as
obsolete and plan to remove it from Debian (see https://bugs.debian.org/1101173).

Debian also provides tldr-py, a Python client for tldr. If you would
like to have the rust client packaged as well, I suggest you reach out
to the Debian rust team.
