[Debian-med-packaging] Problem updating spades backport

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi again,

[…]
> In this light I would rather try backporting asciidoctor 1.5.4 to jessie (it should only depend on Ruby) because I have switched manpage builds for most of my packages to asciidoctor now, and that would address this problem for good in the backports ;)

FTR: I just tried building asciidoctor 1.5.4 in a jessie chroot, and it built with no problems, and all test succeeded.

Cheers
Sascha
