[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1105834: unblock: rust-bindgen-cli/0.71.1-5 (pre-approval)

[NoisyCoil]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rust-bindgen-cli at packages.debian.org, noisycoil at tutanota.com
Control: affects -1 + src:rust-bindgen-cli
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package rust-bindgen-cli

[ Reason ]
In Bug#1103920 the Rust Team was asked to stop using 'M-A: allowed' by default
for application packages, since soon-to-be-introduced policy will require that
value to be adopted only after discussion on d-devel.

bindgen generates Rust bindings starting from C headers. bindgen:arch1 will
usually generate different bindings than bindgen:arch2. As such, bindgen's
interface is not arch-independent as required by the upcoming M-A policy, and
should be permanently set to M-A: no. The present change effectively does the
same by leaving M-A unset.

[ Impact ]
The package will violate (future) policy.

[ Tests ]
I checked that no package (build-)depends on bindgen as ':any'.

[ Risks ]
bindgen is a build-dependency of a number important packages such as chromium,
firefox, mesa, thunderbird, etc. Messing with its M-A can in principle cause
FTCBFS. However, since no package (build-)depends on bindgen as ':any' at this
time, right now this change is a no-op, in practice.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
I haven't uploaded the updated revision yet. I will do so if the unblock is
approved.
