Hi Matthias,

I added the patches you sent and it does build the package now with the 
sbuild flags you suggested but autopkgtests fail for some reason. I 
tried fiddling around with it for an hour but it still fails no matter 
how many times I change things. I'm attaching the autopkgtest fail log 
paste here[1].

I have also added experimental repository to my apt sources before this.

I'm also attaching a paste of my debian/tests/control [2] for better 
context.

I also noticed that the json files and parser.c in src/ get deleted when 
running sbuild, is it a normal behavior?

Also, I wish to build this for unstable since I heard that my Rust CLI 
app that I want to package also needs to be in experimental if this tree 
sitter package is in experimental. Can we rebuild it to unstable down 
the line even if we do it for experimental now?
