Thanks for spotting and reporting this, Jeremy.

I messed up and didn't notice that rust-is-macro was already packaged
independently, when I packaged the upstream source project that it is a
part of.

It is not correct that rust-is-macro is gone from unstable however:
https://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/rust-is-macro

In my understanding, what is happening is instead, that some package
views only show the newest version when multiple are available.

I apologize for my inadvertent hijack and the mess that it has caused.
If the current maintainer of rust-is-macro wants me to, I will gladly
hand back the maintenance of that package.

I see two ways to solve this issue: a) rust-is-macro is simply dropped,
or b) rust-is-macro gets upgraded to a version newer than what is now
virtually provided by rust-hstr, and then the virtually provided binary
packages librust-is-macro*-dev are dropped from rust-hstr.

I have now lowered the severity of this bugreport, so as to permit a)
to happen. To repeat, I will gladly do the second part of b) if the
maintainer of rust-is-macro prefer that option: They will then need to
do first part of b).

Kind regards,

 - Jonas
