Public bug reported:
It would be helpful for package update automation if dh-cargo-vendored-
sources would be updated to directly update the XS-Vendored-Sources-Rust
field in debian/control rather than only verifying that it is correct.
If updating debian/control directly is undesirable, an alternative is to
have a different command line option that directly outputs the expected
XS-Vendored-Sources-Rust line. This would avoid users needing to parse
stderr which feels awkward.
My usecase is inclusion in a custom rule in debian/rules to update the
vendoring of a package instead of a long list of instructions or
commands. The custom rule would be run locally by the package
contributor to prepare the updated package and not at buildtime. I
believe every Rust package in main needs to have either a rule or script
or documentation to do the vendoring, so I expect my requested feature
here would be widely used.
