  Description     : A Rust library for calculating Shannon entropy and metric entropy of byte sequences

I intend to package rust-entropy.
This package will be maintained within the Debian Rust team.

This package is a dependency of binwalk3 (ITP: #1149104), the Rust
rewrite of the Binwalk firmware analysis tool. binwalk3 3.1.0 requires
entropy ^0.4.2, which this version satisfies, and entropy is not yet
in Debian.

Thanks,
Fukui Daichi
