It would be good to bootstrap rustc-web/trixie from rustc/trixie-backports. If help is needed with that, I'd be willing to help. Apparently the old ftp team considered it DFSG-compliant to include binaries downloaded from the internet[1] and execute these binaries on our trusted buildds. It would be good to hear from the new DFSG team whether this is still considered to fully comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. cu Adrian [1] https://sources.debian.org/src/rustc-web/1.85.0%2Bdfsg3-1~deb12u3/stage0/2025-01-09
