Can we use cargo vendor?
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-vendor.html


We can pack all rust-dependencies in separate tarball.
That way it will be possible to build packages with single unified behavior for all systems using the same sources.
It will be much easier to support and debug.
Thank you for your help!
