Sure, I totally agree. Sorry to have side-tracked and started
discussing bug severity. I'm now trying to refocus on trying to find
a solution :)

Definitely. It would be quite sad to force lots of people to install
the activerecord 3.x gems, or puppetdb from the PuppetLabs APT repo
(assuming it's compatible with Debian's Puppet packages), or something
like that, just to avoid regressions when upgrading to Jessie.
