It just feels weird having `bitwarden` in repo, but not the cli. Especially for a cli heavy linux.
This task depends upon

I've had bitwarden-cli installed on my machine in the past, and it's been too much of a hassle to package/debug because it requires extremely specific Node.js versions to compile with. Occasionally, compilation has failed for no discernible reason. Additionally, bitwarden-cli requires nvm, which I'm not interested in providing support for.

The reason why bitwarden_rs is in the repositories is because it's a pure Rust binary, which makes it a *lot* easier to troubleshoot.

As a rule of thumb, I'm not interested in supporting packages that require Node.js/Electron/C# because they break if they're looked at funny.

I suggest looking at rbw[0].

Isn't the `bitwarden` package of the same complexity? I don't have nvm installed, even though I have the `bitwarden-cli` installed. I'm only suggesting this because the `bitwarden` package is already there. As far as debugging goes, is connecting a debugger something that's really a priority? Especially given that for most binaries, arch strips debugging symbols anyways (which annoys me).

Bitwarden is not available in the repositories. Vaultwarden is, which is a Rust implementation of the upstream Bitwarden project.
