Bug#932634: lintian: false-positive embedded-library libyaml due to matching string (defined in data/binaries/embedded-libs) with package rust-yaml-rust

Indeed. So, I not sure how Lintian is meant to "know" that this is
from the Rust version of YAML over the libyaml version. If bat was
called, say, "rust-bat" instead then we could use embedded-libs's
ability to filter via a regular expression, but that is alas not the
case. Any ideas...?
Best wishes,,
