Regarding Debian Trixie: unknown, since my understanding is that it does not have a release date yet, but apparently mid May is the Hard Freeze and then it may take e.g. a month or two to the release. And when it releases, we may want to wait a while before bumping it, depending on how much time has passed since Rust 1.85.0 and depending on whether we managed to get e.g. Ubuntu LTSs to provide a versioned package etc. If something simple works, then let's just go for that -- we do not care too much about older versions for linting purposes, since people should be testing with the latest stable too anyway. Thanks! Cheers, Miguel
