Well if you'd like to help there, I think that finding and packaging a simple package that contains a Cargo.lock file and a dependency tree <= 10 crates would be a more useful test scenario. A test base this large would be useful at a later stage. I'm having difficulties finding a crate that fits those requirements, maybe I'll package some old rust project of mine...
