We had an informal discussion on IRC a bunch of days ago, and we now feel 
confident enough to let rustc+cargo into testing.
rustc 1.5.0 has been tagged today, and together with cargo 0.6.0 we plan to 
let them migrate to testing.

On the other hand, we are still a bit unsure on the rest of the ecosystem (for 
which we'll probably need a dh helper), so we still plan to keep on hold 
third-party libraries and apps packaging.

I'll take care of closing this bug in a few days, assuming rustc+cargo are 
fine.

Ciao, Luca
