Common problems
Depends on a package which itself needs a binNMU
These will be fixed by binNMU once the transition starts(?).
Example broken dependencies: nokogiri, ffi, ...
Example broken packages: ruby-fog-dynect, ruby-rails-i18n

Fixnum / Bignum have unified into Integer
Using some Fixnum related names is now a warning, which messes up a load of things which parse output.
