Thanks a lot for your effort and the initiative, I really appreciate
the idea. I also apologize for my harsh wording in the heated the
discussion we had. I'm very glad that this - as it is always the case
in Debian - is leading to a productive solution. Great!

The problem that we have is that it's not possible to upload a package
to Debian which does not build any binaries on the release architectures,
the archive would be removed from the archive immediately.
I assume what we could do is maybe have a package that is built from
multiple sources so that it builds different binary packages for the
Rust and non-Rust targets.
I have CC'ed James Clarke and Adrian Bunk who might be interested in
this discussion as well and probably can maybe help in the process.
Again, thanks a lot for the efforts and sorry for my heated and
unprofessional behavior.
Thanks a lot!
Adrian
