I could dig deeper but I moved on > for now. Rust packaging uses helpers that autogenerate Debian package metadata from the upstream crate metadata. This includes declaring dependencies on various other crates that are used when building against this package (possibly in an optional non-default configuration), that are not necessarily needed at build time (since the binary package is a -dev package that basically contains rust source files, the runtime deps don't necessarily need to be present as build-time deps). So this is a very common pattern for rust packages. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
