Fixing broken (non-)dependency for ruby-elasticsearch

["Potter, Tim (Cloud Services)" <timothy.potter@hp.com>]

Hi everyone.  I’ve noticed that the ruby-elasticsearch is being blocked from testing by the ruby-patron package, which is currently not building for i386.  I’ve read the README more closely and the ruby-patron library is not a strict runtime dependency, but rather only for optimal performance by implementing HTTP keep-alive.

If I change the dependency to Recommends or Suggests will that allow it to go through to testing?  From poking around on the web it looks like the fix for ruby-patron is not an easy fix, and I’d like to get ruby-elasticsearch into testing.
