[DRE-maint] Bug#1121447: asciidoctor: autopkgtest failure with rust-coreutils

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Source: asciidoctor
Version: 2.0.26-2
tags: patch

Hello, I found asciidoctor fail when truncate is provided by rust-coreutils.
This is a rust issue, already fixed upstream, check
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/2132404
and https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/commit/7ca5f66fa1deec91c75868816baac0efb60eb0af

But in any case, doing:
$ echo foo > 1
$ truncate -s -1 1

looks a little bit strange, maybe change into:
truncate -s=-1 example.ref

can be a little more clear?
