OK.  Ideally we’d unbundle them but the point is moot since we probably
don’t have package for these currently.  IOW, I think we could keep
those bundled dependencies initially, and then incrementally unbundle
them as we add more Rust packages to our package collection.

Our Rust package is supposed to work fine thanks to the work of Nikolai,
Danny, and others, so I’m (naively?) confident.  :-)

Thanks,
