What's in crate files?

It's interesting that crates.io contains more html files than rust

Thant's probably Cargo.toml.orig, which are created by Cargo:

During publishing, Cargo rewrites your Cargo.toml (to replace workspace path deps with real deps at least, and for something else as well I think), but it preserves original toml with .orig extension just in case.

Well that's a lot, but I suppose it entails the generated documentation for the crates?
