Not sure it's technically possible or not (especially pkg side and
build cluster side), but

  *splitting out documents from lang/rust and depend on it
   if option DOCS is enabled (currently default option),
   assuming the files to be just extracted or buildable
   without rust compiler,

  *splitting out source files from lang/rust and depend on it
   if option SOURCES is enabled (currently default option),
   assuming the files to be just extracted or buildable
   without rust compiler,

  *FLAVORize lang/rust with @default (build as currently) and @bin
   and @bin to be NO_BUILD and fetch official pkg for slimmed
   down lang/rust,

  *allow @default being newer than @bin,

  *if not yet exists, any way to indicate FAVOR part should be
   ignored on tracking dependencies by pkg and poudriere,
   (here, "poudriere" stands for any builder possible)

  *implement hook or something on build cluster to monitor
   lang/rust@default finished building on all supported
   archs and automatically commit changes in version
   for @bin flavor and re-generate INDEX to be fetched

are what are wanted?
