Which has same problems... this isn't really about debian, but distributions in general.


The current solution for rust or go applications seem to be just packaging the resultant binary even in the repositories. I don't know if they will ever ship rust libraries as packages.


I'm a mere user of Arch so I don't know what the official policy is, but from where I'm standing, it looks like---at least for the community repo---the policy is "do what works." You are indeed right that Go and Rust applications are packaged as-is without having all of their corresponding library dependencies packaged as well. But, for example, Haskell applications like pandoc do have all their libraries packaged. Compare the output of, say, `pacman -Si docker` and `pacman -Si pandoc`.


My understanding is that Debian uses debcargo to generate packages from cargo packages.
