I don't see how it doesn't scale to more than one Rust package: there will be several vendor archives, maybe holding common dependencies (the only downside is that it will cost a little more disk space in that case). Each Rust project will use its vendor archive, there won't be any conflict with other vendor archives.

What other solution are you proposing?
