Hi Arnd,

Yes it's something that I would like to enable, though we first need
to wait for all of kconfirm's dependencies to be available for these
distributions.

I've filed a GitHub issue for this in the repo of 'nom-kconfig':
https://github.com/Mcdostone/nom-kconfig/issues/149#issuecomment-4480419622

Also note that the author of that library is CC'd on these emails:
Yann Prono <yann.prono@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I will need to do some testing once all is available, but as far as I
can tell, this would not create many additional problems, though we
would still need to provide crates.io as a source for distributions that
do not package Rust libraries.
