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 armv5te-unknown-linux-musleabi. 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.
