let me know if i am missing anything
 
you need the equivalent of our devel repo for arm64, the source for that is mainly https://git.proxmox.com/?p=debcargo-conf.git and the other repositories from the rust section of our git repositories. but you also need a recent enough toolchain (rustc/cargo/debcargo).

alternatively, if you just want to build the client binary, you could replace the proxmox dependencies with path dependencies, and use the rest from crates.io and just run `cargo build --release --bin proxmox-backup-client`, similar to what happens in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proxmox-backup-client
 
Having a look at this now with makedeb since I am after the client binary for an aarch64 host.

Getting issues with it failing to find OpenSSL development headers :/ pkgbuildand libssl-dev already available.


Bash:
