Well, ruby-locale is not a direct dependency of apt-listbugs.
Package apt-listbugs depends on ruby-gettext, which, in its turn,
depends on ruby-locale.

The problem seems to be that ruby-locale/2.1.0-1 breaks ruby-gettext,
causing apt-listbugs to exit with errors.

Indeed, this same issue has been reported against ruby-locale in the
meanwhile:
http://bugs.debian.org/733150
Having an RC bug filed against ruby-locale (with proper version
tracking) will prevent its migration into testing and should let
apt-listbugs users know about the issue and give them an opportunity to
pin ruby-locale before upgrading (that's what apt-listbugs is for, as
you know!).

I am reassigning this bug report and merging it with #733150.

I hope the issue may be fixed soon.
Bye.
