[Impact]

In Ruby 3.0, sdbm has been removed from the standard library[1].
However, some packages, such as the bsfilter package, will fail at
startup without the sdbm library, LP: #1972040 .

The ruby-sdbm package does not exist in Jammy, only in Kinetic.
Therefore, backporting ruby-sdbm from kinetic to jammy and relying on
ruby-sdbm on the bsfilter side seems to solve the problem.

[Test Plan]

$ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:jammy ruby-sdbm-test
$ lxc shell ruby-sdbm-test
# apt install -y ruby-sdbm
# ruby -e "require 'sdbm'; SDBM.open 'my_database' do |db| db.update('foo' => 'bar') end"

The command above will create 2 files: my_database.dir and
my_database.pag. No exception is expected.

[Where problems could occur]

The ruby-sdbm package does not exist in Jammy, I do not believe that any
regression will occur.
