I wonder how well Rust project get along with Debian packaging tools.

"Modern" dev environments are often tied to their own package manager. JS has Npm, Rust has Cargo, etc... These have their own dependency managers, version systems, etc... and they don't always get along with the way Linux package managers work.

IIRC, you don't even need Cargo to do Rust, so it should be possible to compile Rust projects like you compile C projects and essentially mirroring crates.io but with .deb packages but it looks like a lot of work.

Debian packages individual cargo packages/crates as their own Debian packages, and also applications that then depend on them.

https://packages.debian.org/stable/rust/

https://crates.io/crates/cargo-deb exists but I don’t know if Debian uses it or something else.
