Good, could you please specify which bugs you're referring to?
I assume #576496 is one of them: maybe those bugs should be made
blocking for this bug...

I think the severity of this bug should be raised above the RC
threshold, so that it can prevent the migration of ruby1.8/1.8.7.249-3
to testing, until the problem is properly fixed in all reverse
dependencies.
I am doing so with the present message: please keep the severity high,
or otherwise the issue will propagate to testing: there are packages
which are already uninstallable in unstable (for instance:
apt-listbugs) due to this issue, I would like to avoid uninstallable
packages in Debian testing!
