can you try decompressing manually? `ar -x` the deb file to get `data.tar.xz`, and see if your system's `unxz` can decompress it? I wonder if cargo-deb's library creates invalid or...

There's no recursive operation. It uses the `glob` crate to pick what it copies.

Yes, I think it's a good idea. I haven't set up a process for building and releasing a binary. Do you have any suggestions how to automate it? e.g. are...

Yes, please. That'd be very helpful.

For `$auto` we check only linking. I don't think there's a good way to get higher-level dependencies in general. However, having support for recommends would be nice.

It'd be great if you could add the support.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Can you make a PR?

How does that work in Debian? Is it enough to just make the dir in the tarball?

Extracting bits is a good idea. We overlap with the [cargo-bundle project](https://github.com/burtonageo/cargo-bundle), so at least we could avoid duplication there (unfortunately RPM in that project is [unimplemented](https://github.com/burtonageo/cargo-bundle/blob/master/src/bundle/rpm_bundle.rs)).

There's https://lib.rs/crates/rpm-rs now
