Yes, this is an issue in britney, see #599848.

For the time being, if you want to know which packages are currently
problematic, in order to solve these issues before the freeze, you can look at

https://qa.debian.org/dose/debcheck/src_testing_main/index.html

e.g. on https://qa.debian.org/dose/debcheck/src_testing_main/1539320405/amd64.html

I only see rust-ripgrep matching /rust/.
