Please remove ruby-manual package from testing/unstable.

Reason:

This package provides a manual and a FAQs of only Ruby 1.4.x.
And new upstream version is not provided.

The version "1.4.x" is very old version of Ruby.

  - Ruby 1.6.x - previous stable release
  - Ruby 1.8.x - current stable release
  - Ruby 1.9.x - development version

Current Debian don't have Ruby 1.4.x packages.
(And we decided to drop Ruby 1.6.x at next release on Debian.)

Ruby 1.8.x and 1.9.x have some reference manuals in
its standard distribution.  On Debian we can view the documents
by using ri1.8 or ri1.9.

So ruby-manual package isn't usable for any purpose.
