How To Install dh-cargo on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install dh-cargo

What is dh-cargo
dh-cargo is:
dh-cargo provides a debhelper buildsystem to build Rust crates using Cargo.
This builds Debian rust crates to be installed into a system-level crate registry in /usr/share/cargo/registry containing crates that can be used and Build-Depended upon by other Debian packages.
Debian packages generated by debcargo use this buildsystem; packagers are not expected to use this directly. If you have a multi-language program such as firefox or librsvg that includes private Rust crates not exposed to others, you should instead use our cargo wrapper /usr/share/cargo/bin/cargo in the cargo package, and Build-Depends on that instead of this package.
