Rust in Ubuntu Make

I was surprised to see this, hence this post. Maybe we want to invite them for Rust packaging discussion?

It's weird. It uses Python library called BeautifulSoup to parse HTML from www.rust-lang.org, (e.g. selecting div.install) which seems brittle to me. I mean, we probably will break it when we change the website.

Someone should suggest using http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-stable (or -beta or -nightly).
