Hi,
we started working on pgrx in spring, but then lost steam because rust
is complex and the tooling around packaging it is still somewhat in
flux (pgrx is a multi-crate workspace (there are lots of words with
weird meanings in this ecosystem) and debcargo doesn't understand that
yet). We still want to do that.

I don't have an answer to that yet.

That all sounds like a good idea, yes.
