Please allow the migration of dhelp



Hi,

Back in June, I ported dhelp from CommandLine::Application to
OptionParser (#678055), two Ruby libraries that provide command line
options parsing, because the former does no longer work with the
current Ruby version (#679300). I submitted my patch to the dhelp
maintainer, Georgios (cc:ed) who applied it as part of 0.6.21 - But
did not drop the dependency in debian/control.

As the dependency was not dropped, and as #679300 ended up in the
removal of ruby-commandline (and the transitional libcommandline-ruby)
from the archive, dhelp is currently not installable in testing.

With the freeze already in place, I uploaded 0.6.21+nmu1 to the
delayed queue. I now see that 0.6.21 never entered testing (as it is
not installable), but does have several nontrivial changes (at least
some bugfixes):

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/d/dhelp/current/changelog

I hope it is still acceptable to let 0.6.21+nmu1 in testing, as
otherwise quite a bit of work by Georgios would be wasted for this
release cycle. Please comment if you don't agree with this!
