while I'm often tempted to introduce popular libraries in the archive just for the sake of it, in the end I desist because in Rust Team there's a high expectation that because of the fast-moving nature of the Rust ecosystem users (specifically, developers) will not use Rust libraries in the archive, and possibly not even the toolchain packaged in Debian, to do any development work. If users don't need them, we're not going to package them unless we do, which means libraries are usually only introduced as (indirect, perhaps) dependencies of leaf application packages.
Have fun at Kangrejos! Cheers!
