[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1061112: src:rust-cargo-auditable: unsatisfied build dependency in testing: librust-object-0.31+write-dev

Dear maintainer(s),

Dose [1] is reporting a build issue with your package, it's missing a
build dependency (or actually, the right version if I understand the 
rust ecosystem well enough). Obviously your build dependencies shouldn't 
be removed from testing, but unfortunately there are multiple scenarios
where that can happen nevertheless. To uphold our social contract,
Debian requires that packages can be rebuild from source in the suite
we are shipping them, so currently this is a serious issue with your
package in testing.

Can you please investigate the situation and figure out how to resolve
it? I note that this package already has a newer version in unstable, 
but that fails to migrate to testing because it's coupled to another 
Build-Depends that isn't ready to migrate. Regularly, if the build 
dependency is available in unstable, helping the maintainer of your 
Build-Depends to enable migration to testing is a great way to solve the 
issue. If your build dependency is gone from unstable and testing, 
you'll have to fix the build process in some other way.

Paul

Note: this bug report was sent after some quick manual checks using a
template. Please reach out to me if you believe I made a mistake in my
process.
