Please unblock package rust-bindgen-cli
[ Reason ]
In Bug#1103920 the Rust Team was asked to stop using 'M-A: allowed' by default for application packages, since soon-to-be-introduced policy will require that value to be adopted only after discussion on d-devel.
bindgen generates Rust bindings starting from C headers. bindgen:arch1 will usually generate different bindings than bindgen:arch2. As such, bindgen's interface is not arch-independent as required by the upcoming M-A policy, and should be permanently set to M-A: no. The present change effectively does the same by leaving M-A unset.
[ Impact ]
The package will violate (future) policy.
[ Tests ]
I checked that no package (build-)depends on bindgen as ':any'.
[ Risks ]
bindgen is a build-dependency of a number important packages such as chromium, firefox, mesa, thunderbird, etc. Messing with its M-A can in principle cause FTCBFS. However, since no package (build-)depends on bindgen as ':any' at this time, right now this change is a no-op, in practice.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
