The four packages linked to the ITPs in the To: header are not needed anymore.

ITPs for all of those were created after encountering some new build error for ruby-tty-screen. I thought they were new dependencies that were now required.

However, after talking with the upstream for ruby-tty-screen, I was told that they were only needed for running performance tests, which should not be used when building a release since they do not indicate whether the library is actually working or not but rather give out an indication about performance degradation. The performance tests are not stable and probably give out different results depending on what platform they are running on so upstream thinks that it is a bad idea to run them.

So ruby-tty-screen was rather modified to avoid running the tests, thus removing the need for the new dependencies.

Since there are no other current use cases for those packages in the debian archive, I'm closing the ITPs related to them.
