[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#976658: debcargo is broken (and the autopkgtest didn't catch it).

[Ximin Luo]

debcargo (and cargo) is out of date in Debian and needs to be updated. We had been blocked on the FTP binary-NEW policy but there is some progress in that area.

Alternatively you could use collapse_features to begin to update it, but I personally do not approve of it and haven't been spending time on it.
