The Rust team files ITPs for binary crates, not the library crates, as the binary crates are generally more relevant to the broader Debian audience. In terms of avoiding duplicate effort, the debcargo-conf repo _is_ that mechansim for the Rust team. You're choosing to ignore that and package things outside of the team's infrastructure. The Rust team isn't unique in using a single repo for all their packages. It would be appreciated if you worked within the team, so the packages can benefit from the same infrastructure, rather than going off in a different direction and stepping on existing work.
