Just like you envision, but it's not functional yet, mainly due to the
activerecord/actionmailer stuff not being done yet. The rails script works
partially, but chokes when it reaches these items, because I haven't put them
in to /usr/share/rails yet and patched the rakefile to look there for them. I
like the -P switch, although there is already a rakefile target that pretty
much does what you suggest. I made a modified version of the target for my own
needs, also minus docs and such.  I'll try and upload my package to
people.debian.org/~dnusinow tonight so you can have a look.

I think I've managed to detach it from depending on rubygems, but it still
requires rake, which is contingent on you :-)
