No typst support on main repos from: Arch, Termux, Alpine, Void? (maybe more).

[Disonantemus]

Summary

I did install helix in the following distros:

• Arch
• Termux
• Alpine
• Void

Using the package manager from each distro, and none show any support for typst.

Searching this repo shows that, there are some kind of typst support.
I did try Building from Source from official Documentation, with no success.
With some Issues I was able to install, and get correct health output, but in the end, no syntax highlighting at all for typst.

Shouldn't this be by default without any tinkering? or need to build from source? (No programmer here).
