DFSG NEW review for rust-async-utility version 0.3.2-1

Summary

  • Licensing is DFSG-compliant and debian/copyright is accurate: Yes
  • Packaging is of good quality: Yes
  • Issues: 0 blocker, 0 important, 0 minor
  • debian/watch: version 5
  • debian/copyright: machine-readable
  • Scan before the review: nothing found

Licensing

Upstream is a plain MIT crate: LICENSE carries the MIT text (Copyright (c) 2022-2023 Yuki Kishimoto), every .rs file repeats the MIT header, and the crate metadata says license = "MIT". debian/copyright is DEP-5, has a Files: * stanza naming Yuki Kishimoto with MIT and a debian/* stanza for the Debian work, and reproduces the full MIT text, which is not in /usr/share/common-licenses. I checked all 15 upstream files against the tarball: the working tree is the crates.io-style orig (normalized Cargo.toml plus .cargo_vcs_info.json) with only the single Cargo.toml patch applied, so no file is outside upstream's MIT grant. No non-free terms, no vendored third-party code, no built or minified files, no fonts/images. The prescan's author check found no holder missing from debian/copyright, and my own reading agrees.

Packaging

Standard debcargo 2.8.3 output and correct throughout: source format 3.0 (quilt), debhelper compat 13 with dh-sequence-cargo and dh $@ --buildsystem cargo, a single Multi-Arch: same librust-async-utility-dev whose Depends exactly mirror Cargo.toml's per-target dependency features, Build-Depends-Arch carrying cargo/rustc/libstd-rust-dev and the crate dependencies, no maintainer scripts, three autopkgtest stanzas with the dev-dependencies they need, and a DEP-3 patch that only relaxes the async-wsocket version requirement. Standards-Version 4.7.4 is current against Policy 4.7.4.1; Vcs-* point at the Rust team's decbargo-conf. The only thing I could not confirm is that the autopkgtest dependency librust-async-wsocket-dev exists yet (see unconfirmed).

Issues

None.

Verified ◂
  • File inventory: Cargo.toml, Cargo.toml.orig, Cargo.lock, .cargo_vcs_info.json, .gitignore, LICENSE, Makefile, README.md, src/{lib,runtime,time}.rs, src/task/{mod,wasm}.rs, tests/{wasm_timeout.rs,mock_websocket.js}, all under debian/; every one accounted for (.pc/ and debian/cargo-checksum.json left out as instructed).
  • The orig tarball contains exactly these upstream files (Cargo.lock version 4, .cargo_vcs_info.json, both test files), so the tree is upstream plus debian/patches/0001-relax-dependencies.patch, which touches only Cargo.toml; no unrecorded change.
  • tests/mock_websocket.js has no copyright or licence header, but it is an upstream test helper present in the orig tarball and is covered by the Files: * MIT stanza and the root LICENSE, not a separate-licence file.
  • Cargo.lock is Cargo-generated (# This file is automatically @generated by Cargo) and contains only dependency metadata, no third-party source; it needs no separate copyright stanza.
  • LICENSE is byte-for-byte the MIT text reproduced in the stand-alone License: MIT paragraph of debian/copyright; the src headers say Copyright (c) 2022-2023 Yuki Kishimoto / Distributed under the MIT software license, matching the Files: * stanza's holder and years.
  • Cargo.toml.orig/Cargo.toml declare license = "MIT", consistent with debian/copyright; no other licence wording anywhere in the tree (grep for Copyright, (C), ©, SPDX, GNU/Apache/MPL/public domain/non-commercial found nothing else).
  • debian/control dependencies all resolve in the archive: gloo-timers 0.3 (+default, +futures via librust-gloo-timers-dev 0.3.0-1+b2), wasm-bindgen-futures 0.4 (0.4.58-1), tokio 1.53.2-1, futures-util 0.3.34-1, async-std 1.13.2-3, smol 2.0.2-7, wasm-bindgen-test 0.3.58-1, dh-cargo 34 (>= 33~ required by the tests); Build-Depends-Arch lists every Cargo.toml dependency feature and nothing more, and Depends repeats the same per-target features.
  • Policy version 4.7.4.1 while Standards-Version is 4.7.4: first two components match, so not an issue; Priority is optional in source control per Policy 5.6.6, so its absence is not a fault.
  • Patch 0001-relax-dependencies.patch has DEP-3 headers (Description, Author, Last-Update, Forwarded) and changes only version = "0.15" to ">=0.15" for the wasm dev-dependency async-wsocket; nothing in the crate uses a newer async-wsocket API than 0.15, so the relaxation is the usual Rust-team kind.
  • debian/tests/control stanzas are well formed: Test-Command with Features/Restrictions/Depends, @ for the built package, and Architecture: !riscv64 only on the no-features stanza; Features values are unknown-to-autopkgtest and ignored, which is harmless.
  • debian/source/format is 3.0 (quilt); debian/debcargo.toml sets collapse_features = true, matching the single -dev package and its versioned Provides.
  • uscan found the packaged version as the newest upstream release (upstream 0.3.2, packaged 0.3.2).
Not confirmed ◂
  • debian/tests/control Depends on librust-async-wsocket-dev (>= 0.15) (all three stanzas), but apt-cache finds no such binary in unstable/experimental and none among the NEW queues as of 2026-11-06; if the crate (async-wsocket) is not in fact packaged, autopkgtest could not install the test dependencies and all three test runs would fail before starting. This is a test-only dependency, not a Build-Depends, so it does not affect the build; the lists may simply predate the upload.
Proposed changes ◂

None.
