Fish shell has been rewritten in the Rust language in the 4.0 release.
However "apt show fish" prints a tag which says that it is implemented
in C language:
$ apt show fish
Package: fish
Version: 4.0.2-1
[...]
Tag: implemented-in::c, interface::shell, role::program, scope::utility,
[...]

Debtags, the thing behind the Tag: field in `apt show` output, was sunsetted in
2023. The tags themselves are somehow still there in the package metadata, but
there's no more established way to change it.
Thanks for catching it though.
