Apt gives you the version of Rust that was packaged for your distro, so you're not keeping up with the latest releases. It's typically configured to reuse the system install of LLVM, missing some Rust-specific patches that are in the process of flowing upstream. And it references distro-packaged crates by default, meaning that again you're not getting the latest published versions.
