The rust-ringbuf package was recently updated from 0.3 to 0.5, breaking
the (build-)dependencies of rust-futures-ringbuf

Unfortunately the ringbuf crate does not seem to provide a changelog
and a quick attempt at a dependency bump produced a bunch of errors.

There does not seem to have been any upstream activity on the
futures-ringbuf crate for over three years

There do not appear to be any packages that depend on
rust-futures-ringbuf as a build- or runtime dependency, there does
seem to be one package that depends on it as a test dependency,
that package being rust-multistream-select

rust-multistream-select in-turn does not seem to have any reverse
dependencies at all (not even test dependencies).
