This is getting more out of hand than I expected :)

Anyway, I tried to go with scrypt: Issues with said instructions I 
encounter:

1) CHROOT

It tells me to set CHROOT=unstable-amd64-sbuild but later at 9) it 
builds debcargo-unstable-amd64-sbuild I guess it should be rather that?

4) ./update.sh crate-name

yields

./update.sh: abort: debcargo not found, run `cargo install debcargo` or 
set DEBCARGO to point to it

fixable by putting in exactly that command (or should rather a matching 
debian package be installed?)

13) Push your branch to your fork

Well if I follow the instructions there is no fork. (I registered for 
salsa and awaiting approval to create a fork). While I can redirect git 
remotes later on, would be more practical to clone the fork right away.

10) ./build.sh scrypt

Gets me this error:

E: The value 'unstable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a 
release is not available in the sources
./build.sh: abort: couldn't generate dpkg-dummy/status, is Debian 
unstable in your APT sources?

Wait I have to put unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list of the building 
system? (Its a trixie VM I thought that would be enough)

10) ./build.sh salsa20 (a dependency of scrypt)

Gets me an error of quilt not been installed (yes fixable with apt 
install quilt)

Fixing that I get:

error[E0554]: `#![feature]` may not be used on the stable release channel
 --> benches/mod.rs:1:12
  |
1 | #![feature(test)]
  |            ^^^^

So this is from upstream. Honestly I don't understand enough of Rust to 
say if the build did something wrong, or upstream ought to fix this. (I 
wrote a Rust script as git extension a while ago, but that's about it)

Kind regards, Axel
