[DRE-maint] Bug#794904: Please remove ruby-merb packages and links to merbivore.com

[Aaron Stone]

Package: ruby-merb-core
Version: 1.1.3+dfsg-3

The Merb project ceased in 2011, following its merge into Rails between
2008 - 2010 as Merb became the basis for Rails 3. The website merbivore.com
is now a domain squatter link farm.

The package ruby-merb-core first appears in Wheezy, which was released in
2013, after the upstream project was already terminated. For whatever
reason a dead package may have been added to Debian, at this point it
really should be removed. All related *merb* ruby packages should be
removed as well from upcoming and future releases.
