Check the output of APT closely, it reveals what will actually happen: There's "The following packages will be REMOVED" section, which lists packages which will indeed be removed if you choose to continue the upgrade. Then, there's "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required", which lists packages to which, after the upgrade, no dependencies could be found. Under this category, some Ruby packages are listed. They will not be automatically removed. APT tells you how to get rid of them, if you choose to. Moreover, it is not Ruby itself, but some KDE packages with ruby stuff. These are no longer needed after the upgrade, either since the newer KDE does not make use of Ruby any more, or since there's some optional support for some stuff in KDE which needs Ruby, but which the package creator did not switch on.
