Crate librust-font-kit-dev version 0.14.2-2 is impossible to install in
unstable, currently: It depends on
librust-yeslogic-fontconfig-sys-5+default-dev which is unavailable.
Cc'ing Rust team list anddebian-devel@l.d.o as an example of why I
request to please upload known broken packages to experimental, not to
unstable:
A newer rust-font-kit 0.14.3-1 was released earlier today, directly to
unstable despite it changes to tighten a build-dependency from
librust-pathfinder-simd-0.5+default-dev,
to
librust-pathfinder-simd-0.5+default-dev (>= 0.5.5-~~),
librust-pathfinder-simd-0.5+default-dev version 0.5.5 is not in unstable
so is what I call "known broken". That package is currently at version
0.5.2, last updated in November 2023.
To clarify, since I cannot read minds I do not claim that anyone in
parcilular knew what they were doing here, only that it was known
systematically - i.e. that it*would be* known to anyone actually
looking. And in case the former sounds like I have low expectations on
whether or not the Rust team is running blindfolded then no, I don't
know if they knew or could know - when I looked now, the git-tracked
source for the package apparently does not include a debian/control file
so it*seems* possible that they are "blindfolded" by way of their
choice of tooling. But let me emphasize that I am*not* pointing fingers
at their tooling here, only at the choice of uploading to unstable what
*could* be known as breakage by way of a simple debdiff before upload.

This is beyond ridiculous. Someone just failed to dput
rust-pathfinder-simd 0.5.5-1 (marked as released in git yesterday),
making rust-font-kit 0.14.3-1 B-D uninstallable and librust-font-kit-dev
0.14.2-2 uninstallable. That's been fixed now.
This marks the 3rd ordinary bug you needlessly cc to d-devel. I'll stop
answering d-devel until something interesting comes up.
Best.
