[DRE-maint] Bug#790194: ruby-gnome2: depends on vte which is deprecated

Hi,

ruby-gnome2 depends on python-vte / libvte9, which are deprecated in
favor of gir1.2-vte-2.91 / libvte-2.91-0. Thus we want to remove
src:vte from the archive. ruby-gnome2 should switch to the new vte
version.

Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove src:vte this cycle.

We'll bump this to serious when the list of rdeps is small and we're
getting ready to removing vte completely.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

Emilio
