[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1013920: Bug#1013920: rust-all: Debian violating Rust Trademark (as serious a situation as "iceweasel")

[Damian Yerrick]

Requiring work to be done upstream fails the desert island test,
as described by Thomas Bushnell in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/01/msg00010.html>

Updating documentation upstream, adding optimizations upstream,
or fixing security vulnerabilities upstream requires an Internet
connection when the changes are made.  It does not allow a relatively
isolated community with no consistent access to the Internet to make
these changes.
