Yes, cargo-debstatus will only tell you which parts of the dependency tree are already packaged, and which aren't (or might need patching or upgrading to match). If you want to get a starting point for d/control, you can run `debcargo deb-dependencies` or `debcargo update-dependencies`, the latter will directly change d/control. I recommend running it in cycles combined with patching Cargo.toml (and potentially Rust source code) to match which versions are in the archive. > Can you point me to Debian packages of software that might look like > fontship [1] ? There's a few packages that use cargo to build Rust code without being pure Rust: - papers (and many similar GNOME applications using meson) - python-cryptography (and similar python/rust projects using pyo3) - .. I suggest taking a look at the Debian Rust team documentation as well: https://rust-team.pages.debian.net/book/process-workspace.html#manual-wrapper-approach There's also a specific discussion list: [email protected] Hope this helps, Fabian
