[DRE-maint] Bug#878214: version limit of kramdown < 1.15~ in code not expressed in dependency

[chrysn]

Package: ruby-kramdown-rfc2629
Version: 1.2.6-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/kramdown-rfc2629

Hello kramdown maintainers,

kramdown-rfc2629, with the below set of installed packages, err out like
this:

| $ kramdown-rfc2629
| /usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:319:in `to_specs': Could not find 'kramdown' (~> 1.14.0) - did find: [kramdown-1.15.0] (Gem::LoadError)
| Checked in 'GEM_PATH=/home/chrysn/.gem/ruby/2.3.0:/var/lib/gems/2.3.0:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rubygems-integration/2.3.0:/usr/share/rubygems-integration/2.3.0:/usr/share/rubygems-integration/all', execute `gem env` for more information

|         from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/kramdown-rfc2629.rb:14:in `<top (required)>'
|         from /usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:127:in `require'
|         from /usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:127:in `rescue in require'
|         from /usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:40:in `require'
|         from /usr/bin/kramdown-rfc2629:3:in `<main>'

If that were set, the package would become uninstallable right now, but
at least the package would stay usable because package managers would
refuse to upgrade kramdown in the presence of kramdown-rfc2629.

Thanks for maintaining the package
chrysn
