Please remove rust-process-viewer from Debian.

The GNOME Rust ecosystem is still under heavy development with major
new updates annually (until recently, this was twice per year).

One of the earliest packaged Rust GTK apps is rust-process-viewer.
Debian Developers have repeatedly had to spend significant effort to
port this app to keep it building with the current GNOME Rust
dependencies. Meanwhile, there are better-maintained alternative
system monitor apps:
- https://apps.gnome.org/Resources/ is part of GNOME Circle
- https://missioncenter.io/ has applied for GNOME Circle but not yet
been approved. ITP https://bugs.debian.org/1107258

We would be serving our users better to package those apps instead.

On behalf of the Debian Rust team,
Jeremy Bicha
