Description
This adds a Rust packaging FAQ. More than most language ecosystems, Rust packages tend to be described as exceptions to packaging policies and rules. The details of how Ubuntu makes use of the upstream Debian Rust packages is not obvious, especially with respect to
rustc. Moreover, many of the patches applied torustcaren't necessarily obvious.This FAQ is essentially an attempt to gather some of that overview information into a single place, and to ease the burden on folks getting started on Ubuntu Rust packaging.
