[DRE-maint] Proposal to update ruby-commonmarker from 0.23.10 to 2.6.3

[Simon Quigley]

Hi Manuel,

We can work together. :)

Your change to use packaged dependencies looks like exactly what we need to solve the CI failure. Would you like to merge that on to debian/latest, or would you like me to proceed?

Thanks for your work,
Simon
