I don't maintain ruby-aruba and so I know nothing about it, I've just
found an issue with it while working on berkshelf, then and prepared a
patch for it using upstream commit fixing it.

And I know nothing about autopkgtest, so currently I'm unable to test
whether I fix the failure you found correctly.

So maybe it's better to release it without support for autopkgtest and
then wait till maintainer fix it?
