Debian's Advanced Package Tool (APT) will enforce a hard requirement for Rust starting in May 2026, as announced by developer Julian Andres Klode. This change will impact unofficial Debian ports, which must either adopt a Rust toolchain or continue using an older version of APT. The requirement will initially include the Rust compiler, standard library, and the Sequoia ecosystem.
