Hi Wolfgang, I packaged url-serde as it was a (possibly indirect)
dependency of another rust package, but at the moment I can't recall of
which one exactly, most likely fd-find or bat. It seems that is has been
dropped as a dependency; I will check later today or over the weekend
and file a removal request for the ftpmasters.
