pbuilder is able to build the package by installing ruby-rack1.4 and
skipping ruby-rack

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ruby-rack1.4 : Conflicts: ruby-rack but 1.5.2-1 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     ruby-rack [Not Installed]

ruby-rack1.4 provides ruby-rack

buildds also resolve this correctly
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ruby-escape-utils&arch=i386&ver=1.0.1-2&stamp=1398168146

ruby-rack1.4 is a temporary measure until we can make rails 4 as
default. So I'm not sure if we should add ruby-rack1.4 to build deps.
