When I first started looking into Rust packaging it was initially going to be for a workspace of crates. I didn't receive any pushback when I asked about taking over the one crate that had already been packaged and handling it from a single source package for that workspace. In the end I changed my mind and continued using the monorepo for the rest of the crates.
If you allow me give my perspective from an outsider: the monorepo thingy for crates is the only place in Debian where I've seen it, and it's *VERY* confusing. Plus there are many reasons where one may want to package something in a different team, so IMO it's not a good idea.
Plus what if some project hold a multi-language thing, like rust and another language, as source package, and then we need to generate multiple binaries? (real-life thingy, but can't remember which package)
Just my 2 cents... :P Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
