Action for creating statically-linked .deb package for Rust projects using cargo deb

cargo deb Build Environment (debian armv7)

Provides a build environment for executing cargo deb [1] and producing statically linked binaries for the built Debian (.deb) package.

This build on a debian:buster base image and targets armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf. The musl installation is possible thanks to the cross project [2].

The interface for this package was inspired/copied from the cargo-static-build [3] action.

NOTE: This package may fail to build your project if your build links against other OS-provided libraries. Feel free to open a pull-request to modify the Dockerfile so your project can build.

Inputs
