This is due to /usr/bin/ronn having been split out of ruby-ronn into
just ronn. Once you add ronn to Build-Depends, it'll work again.

It is less clear though, whether the ruby-ronn dependency can be
dropped, because puppet mentions ronn in its Gemfile. So I guess you'll
have to use both dependencies ruby-ronn for using the module and ronn
for using the script. You should not assume the ronn module to be
available if Build-Depends doesn't contain ruby-ronn.
