Hi Martin,

seems interesting. I have contributed quite a bit in the Rust team with 
Debian. As I use openRC I can't maintain this though. However, from a 
quick glance this seems to be missing no dependencies (so it's 
packagable as-is). For anyone wanting to take a stab at this I can 
recommend reading this wiki article I wrote about packaging this kind of 
application (that is, standalone rust binaries not on crates.io) [0] . 
Don't be alarmed that it's under the GNOME section, that's just where I 
put at the time of writing. Let me know if you have any question wrt to 
Rust packaging.
