[DRE-maint] Bug#657728: ruby-will-paginate: will_paginate 3.0 is not compatible with Rails 2.3 or older (RuntimeError)

[Antonio Terceiro]

Package: ruby-will-paginate
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I created a fresh rails application, and add a file
config/initializers/pagination.rb containing:

  require 'will_paginate'

When I start ./script/console, I get the following in the end:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/will_paginate.rb:8:in `<top (required)>': will_paginate 3.0 is not compatible with Rails 2.3 or older (RuntimeError)

Since the package snyposis says "Pagination for Rails"[*], I assume it should
integrate nicely with the Rails version in Debian.

[*] although I do known that it does not require Rails and can be used without
    it.
