I am interested in having firecracker in Debian and am a member of
the Debian Rust team. I would advise to move the repository to
rust-team/firecracker after you perform the initial packaging work so
that the project is moved in the Rust team to allow for easier
package transitions.

Does that seems sensible to you to have this package live under the
umbrella of the Debian Rust team?

Thanks,

Agathe.
