Both is already possible using the existing cargo wrapper, which is separate
from both dh-cargo and debcargo and its monorepo for that reason. gaps in what
that wrapper covers can (and should, see my full reply about an example) be
closed. That is not easier if there are two such wrappers. All of that also
applies to dh-cargo (-built-using). It is called by Debcargd, not the other way
round.
