  Description     :  Seed for bootstrapping the Zig compiler

- why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for
  another package? do you use it? if there are other packages
  providing similar functionality, how does it compare?

This package builds the Zig stage1 WebAssembly bootstrap seed
 (zig1.wasm). That will be a dependency for packaging future versions of
the Zig compiler in packages such as zig0.16.
 .
This should not be confused with Zig's
https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig-bootstrap.
This is a port of Guix's Zig bootstrap to Debian.
