Hello,
as I have previously [said], fields `XS-Ruby-Versions` and
`XB-Ruby-Versions` are now deprecated, see the changelog entry for
package [gem2deb/2.1].

[said]: <https://bugs.debian.org/1017064#17>
[gem2deb/2.1]: <https://tracker.debian.org/news/1392420/accepted-gem2deb-21-source-into-unstable/>

As a consequence, I think that lintian should no longer point out that
either of those two fields is adopted (which is not the case), but, if
anything, it should point out that those two fields are deprecated and
need to be dropped.

Please drop any other lintian check related to `XS-Ruby-Versions` and
`XB-Ruby-Versions`, once the deprecation check is implement.

Thanks for your time and dedication!
Bye.
