Can you clarify what it does (I'm not that familiar with Rust).

Is it likely that things will "just work", or will we need to do a lot
of clean-up work? The staging branch is for "non-disruptive" changes
that cause between 300 and 1800 packages to be rebuilt.

I counted 1175 instances of 'rust-build-system' in the packages, so if
it rebuilds every Rust package, it's within the limits for staging. I'm
not sure how many non-Rust packages depend on Rust transitively — ffmpeg
is one.
