[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Requesting backport of cbindgen > 0.10.0 to buster

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Dear Rust packagers and backports team,

for a future update of Suricata [1] to version 6.0 I would like to
request a buster backport of cbindgen [2] to at least version 0.10.0
since that is now a dependency for a possible buster backport of Suricata 6.

It seems pretty straightforward to do: all missing dependencies of
cbindgen are easily backported with no changes with the exception of
dh-cargo, which requires a new version of cargo (0.40) due to a recent
change (in dh-cargo 22). I hit the boundaries of my Rust skills at
backporting cargo 0.40, since that seems to be connected to the Rust
version as well, and I am not sure I feel comfortable touching rustc and
friends for a backport.

It would be nice if someone could take a look -- thanks in advance!

Best regards
Sascha
