Thanks for these status reports, they are helpful.

No, I did not trace the dependency tree to try second-guess *why* the
package got broken.

What I generally do is a) double-check that indeed the package it
completely impossible to install, then b) silently curse the Rust team
for flagging all autopkgtests as "skip-not-installable" so that this
class of bugs require manual reporting, then c) check if the package is
already lingering in NEW, and finally d) file a bugreport.

Sometimes I skip c), partly out of frustration as per b), and partly
because the bug is still a bug when in the process of getting fixed.

Kind regards,


 - Jonas
