    Hi all,
    I'd like to adopt a mandatory README.source for rust packages. This
    details how d/control should be updated automatically with
    debcargo. I attached my draft. Let me know if you have any thoughts/comments/critique. If no-one objects I'll add it to every rust
    gnome app so future updates can happen more streamlined.
    In my experience updating it like that saves a lot of time for new
    upstream releases.

    best,

    Updating debian/control
    =======================

    After the post-import of a new upstream release the build-dependencies should be updated.
    To automate the process of parsing Cargo.toml you can use debcargo (>= 2.7.8) like this:
    $ debcargo deb-dependencies Cargo.toml | xclip (or | wl-copy).
    Note that Cargo.toml might be in a subdirectory, so adjust the absolute path accordingly.
    Then update d/control from the debcargo-generated dependencies. Note that you might need to match
    the dependencies with the current pacakged ones with a patch relaxing the crate version(s) as usual.
    In that case, add / refresh the patch, apply it, and re-run above command. This ensures no dependency is
    missed.

    Yes, you can add debian/README.source to packages.

    Is it possible to simplify the version number so instead of this:
    librust-uuid-1+v4-dev (>= 1.10-~~)
    it looks like this:
    librust-uuid-1+v4-dev (>= 1.10)

    That example is from the debian/control for the fragments Debian package.

    Thank you,
    Jeremy Bícha
