Sorry, I thought it was obvious so I failed to spell it out explicitly:
For rust-rustls to link against rust-ring 0.17, rust-rustls-webpki needs
updating to also link against rust-ring 0.17, which in turn requires
rust-rcgen to also link against rust-ring 0.17.

So no, releasing rust-rcgen patched to *not* upgrade its linkage is
*not* helping here, so really I wasted everyones time by filing
bug#1055132, when in fact this does *not* need some version number, it
needs some linkage that upstream is represented by that version number
but is distorted in Debian patching-rich Rust packaging).

Hope that helps.

 - Jonas
