Title:
  Deprecated exists? call in ruby >= 3.2.0 causes dependent build
  failure

Status in ruby-blade package in Ubuntu:

Status in ruby-blade source package in Noble:
  Confirmed
Status in ruby-blade source package in Oracular:
  Confirmed
Status in ruby-blade source package in Plucky:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * Starting in ruby 3.2.0, the exists? method was deprecated in favor
     of exist?. As a consequence, the "blade_file_options" method fails.

   * The rails package depends on ruby-blade, and is currently FTBFS
     because of this issue. 

   * This occurs in Noble and Oracular because of their ruby versions.
     The attached debdiff is for oracular.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Install the patched ruby-blade and attempt to use the 
     blade_file_options method. If the patch was successful the
     method not exist error will no longer occur. 

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * Problems could occur if this patch were to be applied to releases where
     the corresponding ruby version is less than 3.2.0. 

   * Currently, in ruby >= 3.2.0, blade_file_options fails outright. 
     The risk of regression is low because the method is currently nonfunctional.

  
  [ Other Info ]

   * It's a small change, but blade is an important part of rails' build process.
     We currently cannot build rails from source in either Noble or Oracular without the 
     resolution of this issue.
