VCR needs to be updated to support rack 3 / rackup.
However, we are stuck with version 5 of VCR, since more recent versions switched to a non-free license (see #984689), and upstream issues https://github.com/vcr/vcr/issues/959
https://github.com/vcr/vcr/issues/804
https://github.com/vcr/vcr/pull/805
It's clear the maintainer is not going to change their mind.
So, there are two paths foward: fix VCR 5.x to support rack3 (and fix it again when future changes will break it again), or remove
it from Debian.
Removing it would require patching software that uses VCR (mostly in
test suites). I could identify:
nanoc
ruby-coveralls
ruby-graphlient
ruby-html-proofer
ruby-mixlib-install
ruby-octokit
I took another look: it looks like the only reason why ruby-vcr is a key package is because of ruby-coveralls' build-dependency, which is only
needed for the test suite. So I patched ruby-coveralls to drop it.
Once ruby-coveralls 0.8.23-4 migrates to testing, ruby-vcr should no
longer be a key package, and should get removed from testing.
