Rust help needed for packaging sourmash, the replacement for "khmer"

If we are removing the "khmer" bioinformatics tool for being abandoned upstream, then we need to finish packaging sourmash.

Sourmash is a Python package with a rust core, and there are some rust crates that need brand NEW Debian packages according to "cargo-debstatus":

- az v1.2.1
- counter v0.6.0
- murmurhash3 v0.0.5
- needletail v0.5.1
- histogram v0.11.0
- niffler v2.6.0
- proc-macro2-diagnostics v0.10.1
- piz v0.5.1
- codepage-437 v0.1.0
- rocksdb v0.21.0
- librocksdb-sys v0.11.0+8.1.1
- roots v0.0.8
- vec-collections v0.4.3
- sorted-iter v0.1.8

Any volunteers to crank out some new Debian packages for these rust crates? I only have a small amount of rust for Debian experience myself.

Bonus crate that is optional:
- finch v0.6.0
