[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#971633: debcargo: Debcargo should provide a man page

[Diane Trout]

Package: debcargo
Version: 2.2.10-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to figure out how to package a rust package and the Debian wiki
suggested debcargo was the tool to help prepare a pacakge so I installed it.

I then discovered it didn't have any documentation.

Debian policy encourages all packages to provide a manpage.


§12.1 "If no manual page is available, this is considered as a bug and should
be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking System (the maintainer of the package is
allowed to write this bug report themselves, if they so desire). Do not close
the bug report until a proper man page is available"

It would be nice to have some included instructions about how to use debcargo.

Thanks
Diane Trout
