But now we need to update our build scripts to build with ruby 2.7.

https://git.fosscommunity.in/praveen/debian-scripts/-/blob/master/sbuild-fto 
was how we used to build earlier. With apt priority 500, it used to 
pick up ruby 2.7, but now with a lower apt priority it picks up ruby 
2.5 from buster. I need to figure out the best way to force ruby 2.7. I 
think forcing it via gem2deb may be the best option.
