I don't think this patch fixes anything. This package is fundamentally broken and useless, and is in the archive just to satisfy a pointless dependency. I did an entire analysis of the situation back when this package is ITP'ed, but AFAICT I was completely ignored: https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2017/09/msg00016.html Now, we have a hardcoded dependency on ruby2.3-dev, which is a blocker for the removal of ruby2.3. I just made an upload of ruby-rblineprof removing the dependency on ruby-debugger-ruby-core-source, and will request the removal of ruby-debugger-ruby-core-source from the archive.
