    I mean, there's tools that make it easy to make a .deb https://crates.io/crates/cargo-deb

    The Rust Project itself had put a lot of work into making sure that Rust and Rust-using programs could get into Debian by working with Debian folks to address issues.

    I suspect that you've run into an anecdotal pattern, but I'm not sure that it is more than that.

    As a suggestion if you want to get a lot of users you could make a .deb file that packages the binary and a systemd service file. Using cargo-deb it's pretty trivial, the hardest part would be writing your systemd service file and you can probably just copy the dunst.service file with minimal modification:

    cargo install does provide different options to change the installation dir (https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-install.html) but I am uncertain, if there could be accociated issues. An alternative could be tools like https://github.com/mmstick/cargo-deb or https://github.com/iqlusioninc/cargo-rpm that can automatically create packages which can be used for a proper installation /usr/bin/ using your distributions packaging system.
