Case in point being Debian breaking bcachefs-tools by changing one of the deps to an older one.
Maybe there's a position in between "only one version of each library" and "whatever is currently in Cargo.lock across a hundred different projects"? E.g. some algorithm that could calculate the minimum set of versions to satisfy all the version requirements in all the Cargo.toml files that are used in the distro?
