Sorry, I don't know Rust, so having me try to maintain anything exclusively
written in Rust would be a very bad idea :-)

librsvg runs `cargo build` during its own build: running `make` compiles
C code, then calls `cargo build` to compile Rust code that depends on the
C, then compiles some more C code that depends on the Rust. I don't think
we can avoid that.
It might be possible to patch Makefile.am to use dh_auto_build or
dh_auto_install instead of `cargo build`, but that's "inside out" compared
with a normal Debian package build, so I'd be far from confident about
making that change myself.
