FYI, some rdeps:

instant
 Depends:
  0.1 <- librust-backoff-dev 0.4.0-3+b1 ( librust-instant-0.1+default-dev )
  0.1 <- librust-indicatif-dev 0.17.7-2+b1 ( librust-instant-0.1+default-dev )
  0.1 <- librust-instant-dev 0.1.12-3+b1 ( librust-instant-0.1-dev (= 0.1.12-3+b1) )
    Features: {'inaccurate', 'now'}
  0.1 <- librust-rhai-dev 1.18.0-1 ( librust-instant-0.1+default-dev (>=
0.1.10-~~) )
 Build-Depends:
  0.1 <- rust-backoff 0.4.0-3 ( librust-instant-0.1+default-dev <!nocheck> )
  0.1 <- rust-indicatif 0.17.7-2 ( librust-instant-0.1+default-dev <!nocheck> )
   <- rust-instant 0.4.0-1 ( librust-instant-dev )
  0.1 <- rust-rhai 1.18.0-1 ( librust-instant-0.1+default-dev (>= 0.1.10-~~)
<!nocheck> )

If we are lucky these can simply be updated, otherwise we have to patch them one
by one.
