Notes

[stretch] - ruby-net-ldap <no-dsa> (Minor issue)
[jessie] - ruby-net-ldap <not-affected> (Documentation already states that there is no validation)
[wheezy] - ruby-net-ldap <ignored> (Doc always said that there is no validation)
https://github.com/ruby-ldap/ruby-net-ldap/issues/258
Versions < 0.10 properly acknowledge in their documentation the lack of any SSL
validation, see https://sources.debian.org/src/ruby-net-ldap/0.8.0-1/lib/net/ldap.rb/#L476
In wheezy/jessie, only reverse dependencies are redmine (which is unsupported in wheezy)
and ruby-omniauth-ldap (which has no reverse dep either).
