I highly recommend against backporting anything from the rust ecosystem to debian-backports at this moment in time. The rust ecosystem in Debian recently had (and I expect still has) trouble to properly migrate to testing and is missing a *demonstrated* sane dependency and versioning scheme (in the context of how Debian is working *at this moment* in time).
