So to be clear, I do not recommend that you use the rustc provided by Debian for general development. But if that’s what you want to do, by trying to mix a rustc from Debian with packages from the general ecosystem, it is going to be the worst of both worlds. I would ignore crates.io if I were trying to do what you’re trying to do. You’ll have less access to packages overall, and be using older versions, but they’re at least known to work with each other and that specific rustc version.
