Hi,

thanks for the suggestion!

This would be the first PG-related package using rust, I would expect
a lot of rust crate packages to be still missing.

Debian stable has 1.63, unstable has 1.85.
Ubuntu noble has 1.75.

Everything for the build needs to come from proper .deb packages from
within the target distribution. We might consider using some backports
or relaxing the rules a bit for the older distributions, but we really
like to have packages built properly for Debian main.

Did you already try to build it with distribution-provided tools only?
