Seems like a good addition, I'll do a dh-cargo release with this or a variant of it included before the toolchain freeze. > I'm assuming the cargo:Built-Using and the cargo:X-Cargo-Built-Using > are considered obsolete and supported currently for backwards > compatibility until all rust packages have been switched to use > cargo:Static-Built-Using. But it could be that there are legitimate > uses for cargo:Built-Using (due to license compliance)? Yes, cargo:Built-Using is used to set Built-Using for license compliance reasons. X-Cargo-Built-Using is indeed obsolete, it was the cargo/rust-specific precursor to Static-Built-Using, and debcargo has now switched over to the latter and IMHO we can just drop the former altogether and mass-regenerate packages in the archive that were originally created using older debcargo versions. WIll require some checks for other sources of the substvars, but should be do-able. > Attached an untested patch improving this.
