bug#73155: ruby-net-smtp-0.3.3 fails to build |

Hi Tomás,
Unfortunately, updating the package to a version with a renewed certificate is
not a solution. It merely resets the same 'time bomb' to explode later down
the road. It's bad enough that nobody will be able to build a tested
ruby-net-smtp@0.3.3 again, at least until Linux can virtualise a wall clock.
Fortunately, it appears that upstream has since added the exact commands needed
to regenerate the certificates:
<https://github.com/ruby/net-smtp/blob/master/test/net/fixtures/Makefile>. We
can generate new ones at build time.
I only wonder whether openssl would stall on build machines with insufficient
entropy available, or whether that's not an issue.
Kind regards,
T G-R
