Honestly, (shame on me) I didn't pay much attention to the cbindgen 
migration
or other migrations of rust binaries.

Mostly because when I look at the transition dashboard, I don't
understand why they are blocked. For example:
fd find is blocked by 
https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=rust-ansi-term
Also because we are doing (too?) many changes.

Anyway, sorry about that, I will try to make cbindgen migrated asap!
