Ok. Let's see what happens. For now it seems both projects are
actively receiving and handling patches.

I suggest:

1. Package rizin in addition to r2
2. Package rizin-cutter "in addition" to r2-cutter
3. Create a transition r2-cutter binary package in rizin-cutter source package,
   with version increased compared to r2-cutter source package and let old
   source package be auto-removed:
