So thats why whenever I try to find a package in apt, I have to iterate through thousands of simiparly named librust-{dictionaryword}-{component}-dev packages in order to find the simple component I want... Apt repos have really been trying too hard for granularity, I'm pretty sure there are more librust áckages than actual end-user program packages.
