Packaged Passenger can't be installed

[vholer]

Description
When adding support for Rack 2.x #1273, conflict on system packages thin, ruby-rack, ruby-rack-protection and ruby-sinatra was added. This should avoid using of the wrong combination of gems versions, stick only with those suggested and installed via install_gems command. Unfortunately, this conflict prevents installation of the Passenger on Debians, as they depend on system ruby-rack package.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 passenger : Depends: ruby-rack but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Maybe we can conflict with the packaged gems via Provides. The OpenNebula server package can provide virtual packages ruby-rack, ruby-rack-protection, ruby-sinatra to meet the requirements of Passenger, but avoid installation of the distribution packages.

The workaround for now is to install Passenger via gem install passenger, and build the Apache module (passenger-install-apache2-module) outside the packager.

Expected behavior
Passenger from the packages can be installed.
