[Cryptography-dev] Rust in pyca/cryptography

Do you package pyca/cryptography for a distro? Which one? We've been
in close contact with the Debian and RHEL/Fedora maintainers of the
pyca/cryptography package, and have incorporated feedback from them.

Is there something we could be doing to improve the situation? We're
happy to put in the work here, but we won't accept "don't use Rust" as
an answer.
