Please stop fiddling with severities.
The maintainer of a package decides the severities and whether things are bugs or not. 
Neither have you provided a justification for "serious", it is not breaking 
anything.

The output of debcargo breaks the Debian archive by increasing the
Package file much more then it needs to do.
Breaks seems a strong word, no?

We have at least 680 rust source packages in the archive currently, we shipped 
buster with more than 500 Rust packages.
For now, I only seen a few ftpmasters complaining about the current packaging 
strategy (but maybe I missed users complaining about this).
Despite this, Thorsten and a few other (I saw some trainees) did an amazing job 
keeping up with the incoming flow of NEW rust packages.

What solution would make you happy here? (or at least acceptable).
To start with, we could trim the description in the library crates.

Plus it can create oversized Provides lines.
This is extremely rare. Not sure it is deserve a serious severity.
There are only 3 packages with Provides longer than 5k: oca-core, 
librust-web-sys-dev, librust-winapi-dev

Source:
$ grep-dctrl -FProvides -e '.{5000}' -sPackage < 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages
