right, the binary package is not called rust-bat but the source package is [1]. Can lintian check for the source package name? (also not sure if it is a good idea). Do you think it would be a good idea to rename the binary package? Or maybe we could try find another string that is present in libyaml and not in rust-yaml-rust. Just a question regarding how lintian works: one thing that confused me is that bat doesn't depend on rust-yaml-rust directly, it depends on rust-syntect which depends on rust-yaml-rust. So I was wondering why I didn't get this error in lintian when building rust-syntect.
