retitle 840572 ruby-benchmark-suite: FTBFS randomly (failing tests)
severity 840572 important
thanks

I built this package a lot of times today. So far I have one failure
and several hundred successful builds, so the probability of failure
may well be below 1% and this is really a "FTBFS randomly" bug.

I asked Release Managers what to do with bugs like this but it's still
undecided. The only thing I have is a guideline by Julien Cristau:

    [...] if the failure rate is low enough I think a lower severity
    can make sense.

(See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=844264 for details)

Based on the above, it does not make sense to keep this as "serious".
I'm adding this bug to the collection of "FTBFS randomly" bugs:

Thanks.
