Rust packages in Debian often deviate from upstream, making it
particularly relevant for Debian to check as much of upstream test
coverage as possible.

Packages maintained in the Rust team are relaxed regarding some
classes of test failures, raising the risk of missing problems early.

For these reasons, and because I am not strong in coding Rust, so I
fear situations where upstream may not be able to (or interested in)
helping out with Debian-specific issues, I find it relevant to check
most possible, *before* entering testing.  If e.g. a feature turns out
to cause problems, then I have the option of skipping that feature, but
that's not as easy if the feature has entered testing and some reverse
dependencies are depending on that.
