Steve,

You keep filing these same bugs. I have told you this many times before 
already: this is just how rust packaging works, Britney's migration policy 
already prevents these packages from reaching Debian Testing, so there is no 
problem, no users are affected.

You filing these bug reports accomplishes nothing, except delay & annoy other 
Rust packagers who forget to close these pointless bugs, thereby unnecessarily 
blocking any fixed packages from actually reaching Debian Testing. Oftentimes 
the fix is also not to update the package itself, but to upload another 
package. Due to the idiosyncracies of the BTS, not everyone knows how to close 
these bugs correctly (notfound -1 $version) and it will result in further 
delays.

Please stop filing these bug reports, they only create extra unnecessary work 
for other people, and make Debian worse for users, by slowing down the stream 
of fixes. Britney already prevents Testing migration.
