Given the policy that Jeremy linked to, I imagine Ubuntu will want to
produce a fully-vendored tarball, even if Debian does not.
Producing a fully-vendored tarball of 2.55 or higher would be the closest
thing to the status quo, so I think that would be a valid way to update
librsvg, even if the Debian Rust team would prefer us to do it differently.
Is it possible to vendor *some* dependencies, and take others from
Debian? That seems a lot more feasible to me than de-vendoring literally
everything, and in particular would avoid librsvg getting stuck behind
a new Rust library getting through NEW.
