With dh-rust, also the install routine requires dev-dependencies
satisfied.
dh-cargo has python code copying Rust code files.
dh-rust rely on upstream cargo to copy Rust code files, which requires
dev-dependencies available. So no, I cannot do that trick (or I won't,
because I won't bypass cargo in relolving upstream dependency tree).
The easiest way to unbreak this loop (and we have to do this) is IMO to
temporarily disable the log feature of rand. This avoids rand pulling in
log, breaking the cycle. Then at least ahash should built. I will do a
quick testrun of both and report back here.
