Thanks for copying, I was already lurking the thread. For the sake of
completeness, I've been in talk with several Mozillers and Debian guys
in the last few days to try to sort out all the details, hopefully in
time for 0.10. I'm currently waiting for some final quotable feedback,
I'll try to post all the details after that.

In fact, rust devs have been very collaborative and most of the issues
are mostly fixed or being addressed. rpath should be ok, libuv has been
upstreamed and there is a plan for llvm before 1.0.
Bootstrapping will stay as is and hopefully be accepted (with some
workaround processes) also in Debian.

I can't speak for Fedora/RH, but looks like things are consistently
improving on this front. And many third-party repositories already
exists for those who prefer the bleeding-edge :) 

Cheers, Luca
