[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1004170: rust-rand-os - abandoned upstream should this package be removed?

[peter green]

Package: rust-rand-os
Version: 0.2.2-2

I started looking at updating rust-rand to 0.8.

It looks like rust-rand-os has been abandoned upstream, the upstream description says

"This crate is deprecated: OsRng is available in rand_core since version 0.5.1."

The crate has not been updated for the new versions of rand-core and getrandom.
and no longer appears in the master branch of the upstream git repository.

There do not appear to be any reverse dependencies or build-dependencies on this
package in Debian. The only reference I can find is a "x-cargo-built-using" in
nitrocli, which should probablly be dealt with before this package goes away.

Other than that, can anyone think of a reason to keep this crate around?
