I would have been nice if this would have been done in _advance_
instead of getting to hear in a just fixed FTBFS bug report that my
package now FTBFS due to today's ruby-ronn upload. (c.f.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=901567#35; thanks
Dmitry for that hint!)

IMHO this kind of surging ahead is not different from an uncoordinated
library transition. :-/
