Option 4
---------
Build rust-cargo-c as a vendored package. Once it's vendored, it would have a 
much lower number of Build-Depends. Then build rust-cargo-c on i386.

We already do this for Rust packages in main according to current MIR
team policy

Title:
  librsvg needs cargo-c but it's not available on i386

Status in librsvg package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Starting with the librsvg 2.59 series (2.58.9*), librsvg requires
  cargo-c to build. cargo-c comes from the Debian source rust-cargo-c.

  The issue is that librsvg needs to be built on i386, but rust-cargo-c
  is not currently built for i386. The list of Build-Depends is kinda
  long. Currently except for librsvg, I believe the only rust-related
  packages built on i386 are rustc and cargo (which is totally different
  from cargo-c).

  https://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/rust-cargo-c

  Option 1
  --------
  Stop building librsvg on i386. This might not be practical but it would offer 
some simplicity. I'm not sure of a perfect way to discover reverse-depends on 
i386.

  We may be able to drop gtk4's build dependency on librsvg.

  It looks like it is optional for cairo, but not sure whether it would
  be a good idea to attempt to remove it there.

  Option 2
  --------
  Build cargo-c as arch:all. Unfortunately, this won't work since cargo-c ships 
arch-specific binaries unlike many of the rust-* .deb packages.

  Option 3
  --------
  Attempt to vendor cargo-c inside the librsvg package. This is what I suspect 
to be the solution we'll need to go with.
