rustc is in main but none of its binary packages are on any images, so
this does not impact preparation of images for the final release.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rustc/1.71.1+dfsg0ubuntu1-0ubuntu2/+build/26518606
shows an 11-hour build on riscv64, so it is possible to get this done
and released in the mantic release pocket prior to closing it if
uploaded today or tomorrow (Wednesday).

If this does not make it into the mantic release pocket, do you want
this done as an SRU?

Title:
  [FFe] Remove Windows libraries from Rust source package

Status in rustc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  We want to remove Windows libraries (mostly windows-sys and friends)
  from the Rust source package.

  They contain binary blobs and auto-generated code that consume much storage space (~700 MiB).
  Removing them also makes the source package easier to audit.
