Hi NoisyCoil (and Andrej),

Introduction of a binary package in another source package is not a
reason for rejection, as I understand it: That sounds like the only way
to, well, doing exactly that: Move a binary package to being maintained
in another source package.

While I don't expect the package to be rejected, please do anyway
immediately upload an update to your packages which provides also the
executables, to avoid bothering ftpmasters twice with a NEW processing.

Yes, I have invested quite some time into packaging these, but my time
has been mainly in building from true source (not from pre-generated
not-preferred-form-for-editing assets distributed via crates.io), and
composing a sensible migration path from previous maintenance to that
(in my opinion) ideal packaging style. I have no special interest in
maintaining these packages, however, and if your packaging style is
different then there is no need for the work I have spent time on.

So please go ahead and take over maintenance of these packages (if also
ok with the previous maintainer, Andrej Shadura, obviously), just make
sure that you take over all of it, not only the library parts.
