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
