The source package rust-icu-decimal-data provide data below
subdirectory /data which is generated, and the source for that data is
missing from the source package. This is a violation of Debian Policy
§2.2.

Cc'ing DFSG team to raise awareness of this seeming pattern of missing
recognition of @generated hint systematically added at top of files in
ICU packages to indicate that files do not represent proper source.

same upstream "workspace": #1140527, #1140528, #1140529, #1143093.

Background: The rust team generally avoid upstream git-tracked source
files, which is often the preferred form for editing by upstream, as
basis for Debian source package, but instead unpacks and uses generated
"crate" packages from the distribution system <https://crates.io/>. For
upstream projects that generates files as part of the process to
prepare such "crate" packages, it becomes a DFSG issue.
