An upload then wasn't warranted because the ultimate thing this package was supposed to aid at the end was (and is) blocked by something else. rust-cap-fs-ext was never in testing to begin with, and it wasn't urgent either. If it somehow was, I'd still have kept it out from trixie with an RC bug either way.

I don't understand. A package is uninstallable in unstable, and you
seem to argue that it is fine to leave it at that for 5 months? No
bugreport, nothing?

Please initially upload to experimental, and strive towards packages in
the unstable suite always being installable.

I am frankly quite tired of filing bugreports against totally broken
packages maintained by the Rust team.
