Control: notfixed -1 22 Control: tags -1 + wontfix Sadly this broke the build for binary-crate packages and I've had to revert it in 23. I won't be bringing it back.
The reason is that debhelper passes in an automatic value for $destdir which is different if the package has only a binary crate (debian/$binpkg) vs if the package has both a library and binary crate (debian/tmp). debhelper does not allow dh-cargo to see what the user actually gave on the command line, so there is no way to tell if the user asked for --destdir=debian/tmp on purpose, or if it was the default value. In the default case, we want to *always* install into debian/$binpkg and never debian/tmp. So rather than require most binary crates have to manually specify --destdir, I've moved this functionality into the DESTDIR environment variable. It's there if you need it, but it won't be coming from --destdir.
