Why do you need to automatically create/remove binary packages?

>From looking at the package with the insane large Provides field, it
seems like it creates empty binary packages to avoid some dependencies
on other development packages to safe ~50k of downloads?  I would
suggest to just accept the 50k extra downloads for packages for people
using the rust development packages rather than creating extra binary
packages.
