That too. The reek version in Debian is completely outdated, is missing
some dependencies, and some of the dependencies are not packaged yet.
Also since it's a tool and not a library the package should be called
`reek` instead of `ruby-reek`.

The latest version dropped a few dependencies, so it will have less
missing dependencies in Debian.

In its current state reek is completely broken and since we are already
in soft freeze it won't be able to be part of stretch anyway. With all
that said, and given that no other package depends on it, I think we
should just remove it from Debian for the time being.
