It was pointed out on the bug that librsvg2 is in a similar situation. The answer there was to bundle ("vendor") all the Rust dependencies into the tarball. The command "cargo vendor" does this. For librsvg2 that's 278MB of dependencies (10 times larger than the sources of librsvg2 itself) in 265 separate Rust libraries. For libblkio it's 123MB of dependencies in a mere 21 libraries. Also there's no Provides: bundled(...) in the librsvg2 package.
