Upstream project consist of multiple crates released in sync - which is
a pattern that is only inefficiently handled by the Rust team (by
needlessly packaging each individual crate as a separate Debian source
package).

Unless you particularly are asking the Rust team for help here, then I
can offer to help: I have experience with handling this type of Rust
source code structure, and would be happy for this opportunity to
collaborate more closely with you, Andrej.


Kind regards,

- Jonas
