This was required because my initial take on Rust let the build process download the rust-stage0 bzip2 tarball and uncompress it on its own. As the bootstrap binary will now be provided by the rust-bootstrap package, this is not needed anymore. > Indeed, host-python is used by numerous packages, and we're trying to > not add too many dependencies to host-python.

So having support for this format in host-python, regardless of Rust, will benefit the user. Regards, -- ELB
