Hello Rust crate packaging maintainers,</div>

I've been trying to package loop-rs and gst-plugin-rs, both of which have RFP bugs in WNPP. However, I think debcargo may be messing up dependencies by adding extra flags to the dependency names.</div>

First, I've tried using my normal Ubuntu Hirsute installation for development (which is what I normally use), but then I realized that debcargo was making all these packages with names that I couldn't install. They did exist but they had a +1-default, or something
similar to that before the typical -dev suffix. I even did try a sbuild in a schroot, and with no success, even trying to ignore the missing build deps, I set up a Debian unstable virtual machine to still no success. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm
doing something wrong, but I'm having issues getting the correct dependencies.</div>

I don't see any valid reason debcargo would create these extra flags that will mess up my apt installation, and even installing the correct package names obviously won't get dpkg-checkbuilddeps working (unless it is supposed to?), so what is going on? What
am I missing?</div>

Otherwise, the only other concern I have is for loop-rs. Shouldn't the package be named 'loop' instead of 'rust-loop-rs' or just 'loop-rs' since this is a small binary application?</div>

Anyways, is there some way to override debcargo or whatnot? What is the proper thing to do? What am I doing wrong? I'd love to get these packaged.</div>
