I guess part of the problem is that $RUST does not have a stable
meaning yet. The rust in the kernel seems to need a different
definition of $RUST to this package. And this machine is all about
testing the kernel, so $RUST is set for how the kernel wants $RUST
defined.

Maybe, eventually, rust will become stable, and you just install a
rust compiler like you install a C compiler, and it just works for
everything. But we are not there yet.
