There is some sense in that.  However, for rust, you will be
using the same bits that go into the rust-bin package for
bootstrapping the rust build itself.  I think rust itself a
couple of versions ago got the option to bootstrap using an
already-installed rust, but the pkgsrc package has not been
adapted to make that an option (yet).
