The debian rust team makes heavy use of virtual packages to reduce the number
of real packages in the archive (and in some cases the number of trips through
new) while retaining flexibility to split if necessary (either for multiple
versions of a crate or where featuresets that previously had the same
dependencies diverge).
Unfortunately the key packages script does not take virtual packages into
account. The result of this is that a large number of rust packages that ought
to be on the key packages list (as a result of firefox depending on cbindgen
which build-depends on a bunch of rust packages) are not on there.
Is this still the case?
Nowadays https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/key_packages.yaml.cgi shows many
instances of
- reason: librust-ff-derive-dev
depends librust-addchain-0.2+default-dev
provided by librust-addchain-dev
- source: rust-addchain
