I pushed some basic Debian packaging to
https://salsa.debian.org/jbicha/gnome-tour

I don't think it is worth publishing in Debian.

The app appears very simple: it is just 7 "slides" (like in a
PowerPoint presentation).

It has the ability to show a welcome video but that isn't provided by default.

To do all that, it has about 100 vendored dependencies. The app is
written in Rust. So a Debian packager would need to sort through all
those and use the distro-packaged versions where available.

It's just a lot of work for something that doesn't seem very helpful.
And the Debian GNOME team doesn't have much experience in Rust.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
