[DRE-maint] Bug#515708: liblocale-ruby: package must be kept out of testing

[Antonio Terceiro]

Package: liblocale-ruby
Severity: serious

Using this library (actually, setting the LC_NUMERIC part of the locale)
breaks several Ruby applications because of the way Ruby (at least 1.8
version) implements printing of floating point numbers.

It also conflicts with libgettext-ruby (see #470798). So at least until
we can find a solution for these problems (or decide to remove this
package from Debian), this package must not go into a release.
