The deprecation warning was added by the upstream developers of ruby 1.9.3, I would argue strongly against Debian changing that behaviour.
It might be an annoying message, but devieating from upstream should be treated with caution. The best fix in this case is probably to use a version of librarian-puppet that has been updated to avoid using deprecated behaviour in the interpreter.
