It seems the problem is the following in your Cargo.toml:

[workspace.dependencies]
asn1 = "0.21.3"
cryptography-x509 = { git = "https://github.com/pyca/cryptography.git";, 
tag = "45.0.4" }
hex = "0.4"

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-rfc3161-client/-/blob/52d6e962cf9f9b77e34579df0dfa96b8e7e80778/Cargo.toml#L11

This is attempting a `git clone` of 
https://github.com/pyca/cryptography.git, which is not allowed.

The python library is packaged in Debian as python3-cryptography, but 
the `cryptography-x509` crate isn't published to crates.io by the 
github.com/pyca team. Doing this would make things easier for us.
