I've got a workspace with several binaries. I would like to create debian and rpm packages with a specific project name and want to pack the binaries into these packages.
How do I have to setup the file structure and the Cargo.toml to achieve this?

I've found the solution after lot's of trial and error.
The solution is to put all the metadata into the root Cargo.toml. The project consists of 1 library and 2 binaries.
Cargo.toml in root:
[workspace]
members = [
"foolib",
"foobin",
"barbin"
]
[package]
name = "ProjectName"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Jack The Ripper <jdr@mail.com>"]
edition = "2018"
license = "GPL-3.0"
description = "A sample project."
[package.metadata.deb]
maintainer = "Jack The Ripper <jdr@mail.com>"
copyright = "2020, Jack The Ripper <jdr@mail.com>"
license-file = ["LICENSE", "0"]
changelog = "Changelog.md"
revision = "1"
extended-description = """\
A sample project."""
depends = ""
section = "utility"
priority = "optional"
assets = [
["../../.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libstd-6e0e72ef3f331f94.so", "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/", "644"],
["target/release/libfoolib.so", "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/", "644"],
["target/release/foobin", "/usr/bin/", "755"],
["target/release/barbin", "/usr/bin/", "755"],
["ReadMe.md", "usr/share/doc/zarc/ReadMe.md", "644"],
]
[package.metadata.rpm]
package = "SampleProject"
[package.metadata.rpm.cargo]
buildflags = ["--release"]
[package.metadata.rpm.targets]
zarc = { path = "/usr/bin/foobin" }
zarf = { path = "/usr/bin/barbin" }
[package.metadata.rpm.files]
"../../../.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libstd-6e0e72ef3f331f94.so" = { path = "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/std.so" }
"../target/release/libfoolib.so" = { path = "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/foolib.so" }
"../LICENSE" = { path = "/usr/share/doc/SampleProject/LICENSE" }
"../ReadMe.md" = { path = "/usr/share/doc/SampleProject/ReadMe.md" }
There must exist a src/main.rs with at least an empty main function. Otherwise cargo rpm init would fail.
In directory .rpm in file SampleProject.spec I had to add the following lines at the end:
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/*
%{_docdir}/*
Now cargo deb and cargo rpm build are working like a charm.
I've also added a file for Wix tool on Windows to create an MSI installer. The file main.wxs is placed in folder wix:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?>
<?define Win64 = "yes" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?>
<?else ?>
<?define Win64 = "no" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?endif ?>

Unfortunately the solution above does not work as expected. cargo build and cargo run are now broken. Any help?
Ok finally I've found the solution. I've created a directory ProjectName within ProjectName. Then I split Cargo.toml in root and moved everything but workspace into the new sub directory. I've also moved directories src, .rpm and wix.
Now everything works as expected.
