[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#919780: Please provide compatibility link under /usr/lib/rustlib/src

[Dato Simó]

Package: rust-src
Version: 1.31.0+dfsg1-2

Hello,

It seems the default upstream install places its source files in
/usr/lib/rustlib/src/rust/src (two "src", apparently), and many
tools default to that path.

It would be great (and very convenient) if the rust-src package 
could provide a compatibility link such as:

  /usr/lib/rustlib/src/rust/src -> /usr/src/rustc-1.31.0/src

This way the source is still, as per policy, in /usr/share/src, 
but we'd be saved from having to configure every tool to use that 
path, and/or to maintain a local symlink, and keep it updated.

Thanks for considering,

-d
