g, to bail out on unrepresentable > dependencies. That change evidently got dropped as part of further changes to debcargo (and the Rust packaging policy). Re-adding that will eliminate this issue. (Two-sided version constraints will make it possible, in the future, to avoid the "unrepresentable dependencies" mentioned above; however, those don't occur often.) - Josh Triplett
