Yes, I need this for a few packages, and the Rust team for some more:
It is used for tests which in Debian are patched out:

  * async-lock
  * bytes
  * concurrent-queue
  * crossbeam-epoch
  * crossbeam-utils
  * event-listener
  * event-listener-strategy
  * oneshot
  * parking
  * sharded-slab
  * state
  * tokio

This future package needs it as well:

  * fractal (bug#900928), transitively via async_cell

So in other words, you still need it, but have chosen to suppress that
need.

Thank you (finally!).

In future, please consider pouring a bit more effort into package
maintenance: I filed this bugreport a year ago, and have received only
silence and then you giving up.

Kind regards,

 - Jonas
