Hi,

I saw James already granted you access :) The existing packages can help 
you to get d/control and d/rules set up; feel free to ping me on IRC 
after August 1st if you're stuck. tree-sitter packages are not that 
straightforward unfortunately. To get the rust part right I am 
lazy:

$ cd debcargo-conf
$ ./update.sh tree-sitter-asm
$ cd build/tree-sitter-asm/debian
Then copy the Depends: and Build-Depends: from d/control there, as well 
as the d/test/control file (for autopkgtest)  (adapt for -verilog).

Hope this helps getting it to build :) I can review/help as stated 
above.

best,

werdahias
