Hi,

this package is identical across architectures, and contains source code
only, so it can probably be made "Architecture: all"

it is intentionally arch:any to avoid the interpreter problem when cross-building. if it were arch:all, a (transitive) dependency on an arch:any package would pick up the wrong architecture and thus break cross building.

see the last part of https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/RustPackaging/Policy and this comment: https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo/-/blob/master/src/debian/control.rs#L357

this came up last year on d-devel a well with the consensus being that there is no other workaround unless we want to break cross building for most rust packages.
