Upgrading a ruby package when the test suite has been removed from the gem file

Hi guys,

I'm preparing the lastest version of asciidoctor and am facing some issues.
Upstream removed the test suite from the gem in
https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/pull/3048 to reduce the
size
of the gem.

So I switched the watch file to the github release tarball which has
it and updated the salsa repository.

Now the issue is that during the auto-install dh_ruby calls gem2deb
which, if I understand correctly, don't care about
what's in the current repo and just pull the gem using gem fetch.

I've tried several ways but I still end up with a tree that don't
contain the test files when the ge2deb-test-runner
starts.

I've also tried to add `export DH_RUBY_GEM_INSTALL_WHITELIST_APPEND =
test/*` to debian/rules but I'm not currently
using `export DH_RUBY = --gem-install` as I'm not entirely clear if it
will totally change the install entire
installation tree location in the end.

I could manually copy the tests in the temporary folder but I'm pretty
sure there's a cleaner built-in way to do this
that I'm not seeing.

Any advise on what would be the cleanest way to go on this please?

Currently working on this branch:
https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/asciidoctor/tree/asciidoctor2010


Thanks a lot in advance for any advise,
Joseph
