I think it is just a matter of time before rustc-web has to be reintroduced for Trixie (via chromium/firefox-esr) - AFAIK Andres (CCed) is already working on preparing it(s prerequisites). That being said - it is often possible to undo upstream MSRV bumps with small patches, which might be an option here as well. If you need assistance with that, feel free to reach out to the Debian Rust team ([email protected], or #debian-rust). In any case, rustc in bpo should be new enough for your purposes, if that route seems acceptable. Fabian
