My understanding:
- ruby-fakeweb is a key package because ruby-thor build-depends on it
- ruby-fakeweb is unmaintained upstream
- ruby-thor doesn't actually need fakeweb
+ newer upstream releases use webmock instead:
https://github.com/erikhuda/thor/commit/3241f2fbf1172b6182723b073fd4b390200660e9
+ ruby-fakeweb is only used for the test suite of ruby-thor, and
ruby-thor does not include a test suite anymore (we should probably
download from github rather than from rubygems.org, but that's
another issue).
A solution that would work to make that bug disappear from the buster RC
bugs list is:
1) modify ruby-thor to drop the useless build-dependency on ruby-fakeweb
2) get it to migrate to testing
3) remove ruby-fakeweb from testing
