cargo can't find yanked crates either, even when the yanked version is
explicitly requested through `cargo add foo at 1.2.3` - that's what yanking is for!

All hope is not lost though. Trying to fix it means it's already uploaded to
Debian, so there must be an orig.tar - just work with it the "old" way.
