Okay, I've fixed ruby-extlib and ruby-moneta, the dependencies were
spurious. ruby-tioga needs work, and then gem2deb can drop support
for setup.rb.

Interested parties can search for setup.rb usage with:

For some reason, ruby-meta Build-Depends-Indep on ruby-setup, too.

The current list of packages appears to be:

  # Broken Build-Depends:
  gem2deb: ruby-setup
  ruby-extlib: ruby-setup
  ruby-moneta: ruby-setup
  ruby-tioga: ruby-setup

currently only two packages depend on ruby-setup to build: ruby-tioga
and ruby-facets.

given that setup.rb is deprecated for a very long time -- the Ruby
community completely moved to rubygems -- IMO we should:

- migrate those packages away from ruby-setup
- remove support for ruby-setup from gem2deb
- remove ruby-setup from the archive

  Hello,

  I intend to orphan the ruby-setup package. It is technically
team-maintained by the Debian Ruby team, but the other listed uploader
hasn't touched the package for a very long time, so I prefer to mark
the package as orphaned. It is used by some package for their build
procedure.

  Kind regards,

Vincent

The package description is:
 setup.rb is an installation tool widely used for Ruby
 programs. You can use it to distribute Ruby code you wrote
 and be sure your users won't have difficulties installing
 it.
