Though `bindgen` might not use rust compiler, nonetheless bindgen-0.65
deb package requires rustc in its dependencies:

     root@c4a63fba5ac2:/# apt-cache depends bindgen-0.65
     bindgen-0.65
       Depends: clang-17
       Depends: rustc
         rustc-1.74
       Depends: libc6
       Depends: libgcc-s1

Even if one uses the command:

     apt install rustc-1.80 rust-1.80-src bindgen-0.65 rustfmt-1.80 
rust-1.80-clippy

It anyway installs both rustc(as default) and rustc-1.80. Can be easily
reproduced in ubuntu:24.04 docker container.


I’ll send a reworked patch for quick-start.rst once it’s ready.
