1000 lines of Cargo.lock is 100-200 total dependencies. Importantly, a "dependency" in Rust is a little more granular than in some other languages. A single dependency might have ~4 sub-crates which are there own "dependency". I would guess the 1000 lines of Cargo.lock represent ~32K of Rust code. That is probably no longer minimal by most definitions, but having a dependency on libc is like 200K of C so an additional 30K seems not so bad (assuming the dependencies are well known).
