[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1051501: provide subcommand that lists debian dependencies for a crate

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Package: debcargo
Severity: wishlist

I've packaged a few Python packages that include rust code. Since they're
python packages, I can't just use debcargo.  However, it would be great if I
somehow use debcargo to extract Debian dependency information from Cargo.toml.

Perhaps a subcommand for debcargo that just dumps out a list of Debian
dependencies and the features they are relevant for?
