You might be mixing up who you are replying to. I never claimed that C and C++ package management are better than what Rust offers overall. In some regards, Cargo is much better than what is offered in C and C++. I wouldn't ascribe that to a mess, more the difficulty of maintaining backwards compatibility and handling cruft. However, I know of people that have had significant trouble handling Rust. For instance, the inclusion of Rust in bcachefs and handling it in Debian that whole debacle.
They did not have an easy time including Rust software as I read it. Maybe just initial woes, but I have also read other descriptions of distribution maintainers having trouble with integrating Rust software. Dynamic binding complaints? I have not looked into it.
