[DRE-maint] Bug#897279: libruby2.5: circular dependency hell

[Bill Allombert]

Package: libruby2.5
Version: 2.5.1-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Ruby Team,

There is a circular dependency between libruby2.5, rake, ruby,
ruby-test-unit and ruby2.5:

libruby2.5 	:Depends: rake (>= 10.4.2), ruby-test-unit (>= 3.0.8~)
rake 	        :Depends: ruby
ruby        	:Depends: ruby2.5
ruby-test-unit 	:Depends: ruby
ruby2.5 	:Depends: libruby2.5 (>= 2.5.0~preview1)

Complex circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to get rid of them.
