Research direction

Review existing Pacstall program scripts and the linked AUR PKGBUILD to understand how the Rust package is built with Meson and how the nosuffix and -deb variants are represented. Use the linked PPA packages as a reference, then verify that the Hieroglyphic package builds and both requested variants are installable.
