I think that since whytheluckystiff is developing Syck/YAML right in the
Ruby CVS, there is little chance for a separation of libyaml-ruby1.8 in
the near future, and I'm quite happy with it being maintained by akira
as part of ruby1.8.

I am inclined to keep libyaml-ruby1.6 (renamed from current libyaml-ruby
as soon as ruby-defaults is out), and make a libyaml-ruby metapackage
that depends on libyaml-ruby1.6 | libyaml-ruby1.8, so that a program
that doesn't care about Ruby version would pull in either 1.6 or 1.8
version, depending on the version of Ruby installed.
