Public bug reported:

I want to require one of my packages to depend on `cargo`, but this
doesn't seem to be possible when `rustup` is installed. However, `cargo`
is in practice always available when `rustup` has been set up, so I'm
not positive why this is an issue.

I maintain a separate copy of `rustup` over on the MPR
(https://mpr.makedeb.org/packages/rustup), though found this issue when
Ubuntu took priority to the Ubuntu repo version due to the one there
being slightly out of date. I've found quite a lot of success by
allowing the package to include a `Provides:` entry though for things
like `rust`, `cargo`, etc.

Any chance that functionality could be added here? I'm more than open to
discussion as well.
