Resolution criteria:

  • The driver must be considered part of the Debian distribution

  • The driver must use the Rust infrastructure provided by the Rust for Linux project

Looking at the official docs, I see

  • NVMe driver (in development, no plans to replace)

  • Null block driver (used for testing only)

  • Android binder driver (irrelevant to Debian)

Why are we so optimistic?

Verifying: do you consider unstable "part of the Debian distribution"? I want to make sure the criteria is met as soon as a driver ships in the Debian kernel, rather than waiting for that driver to then make it into the stable distribution that comes out every couple of years.

@josh Yes, unstable is considered part of Debian.
