Debian's APT package manager will have a "hard requirement" on Rust from May 2026. This move may make some rather big waves.

How does one comment from a dev with virtual no follow up amounts to being news? Is there an official stance by the dev team?

This is the official stance.

But no it's not really news, since Debian already has a hard dependency on rust, as noted in the article.
