(not) testing Rust packages?!

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

I discovered that most packages in crates-io.scm are not build. I
understand that this is done since they do not produce any useful output.

But as an side-effect, the packages are not tested either - which might
leave issues undiscovered.

Is this intended?

My experience when packaging KDE libraries showed that is does make
sense to actually test the libraries to detect issues early. And there
are quite some possible issue in libraries, e.g. ladoing dynamic libs
from /usr/lib, searching executables in PATH or even worth in a
hard-coded path.
