Right, from my understanding, Debian was packaging Rust programs in the same way as C ones. So they’d update the individual library and it should be all good. They deduplicated all of the dependencies in their trees.

This seems reasonable to me. If you have a tarmaggeedon, you update one library instead of thousand of packages. Although I am not sure how well this can work in Rust with monomorphization.
