I think these are very sensible suggestions, thank you. I've worked on
this today and we have a first version of the ruby-switch package:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-ruby-extras/ruby-switch.git;a=summary

Feedback is welcome.  I will probably upload it sometime during next
weekend.

I also thought better and figured out that making the interpreter
packages depend on it is too much, so I think ruby-switch is going to be
a regular, optional package.
