Anybody who is mirroring Debian unstable with reprepro right now. I have no special interest in rust, but I do maintain a debian derivative that we build with reprepro merging debian testing and our own packages (and we mirror unstable as well because we cherry-pick fixes from unsatble from time to time, hence the reason why I discovered this before it has his testing). > time I've heard of this.

Such a fixed version will not magically appear and will not be magically deployed. I have no problem upgrading to a newer reprepro once there's a fixed version but I do still believe that your use of Provides is abusive and that you should rethink the approach.
