What's there to be astonished by? The functionality is identical.

I'd like `pkgin install rust` to always work, because I think
that's the least astonishing option. rust-bin can be renamed
once the most recent NetBSD release can reliably build rust from
source, if you like. Right now that's not true, so i'd prefer if
rust-bin can act as a totally invisible drop-in replacement.
