   Description     : cli minecraft launcher

PortableMC is a relatively small Minecraft launcher in Command Line
Interface.

Since major version 5, it has been rewritten in Rust and is currently
distributed only as the CLI + man page and some docs. It would be nice
to start with a binary package for the CLI, named 'portablemc'.

In the future, the idea is to provide a C API through static/shared lib,
which would be its own shared lib binary package + -dev package.

I've talked with folks from debcargo-conf and they linked me rust-blake3
package, which is kind of similar but mine would have a CLI on top (and
librust-portablemc-dev).
