What Debian decides to do is up to them.  Please keep me out of this
discussion.

Also, may I suggest that you monitor 
https://gitlab.com/federicomenaquintero/bzip2/issues/6 and especially
read my replies to that issue.

Julian, do not contact me again regarding bzip2 and Rust.  A compatible
C version is going to be available by default.

for making that accusation.
