Correct me if I'm wrong, but ruby1.8-foo, ruby1.9.1-foo, jruby-foo are not
broken without ruby-foo, they're just useless. So this may be interpreted as
not being a dependency.
Moreover, I have the impression that any ruby package needing foo
*functionality* will depend on ruby-foo and not on any arch/interpreter
specific package. In this case the dependency between ruby1.8-foo, ruby1.9.1-
foo, jruby-foo, rubinius-foo will probably never be actually used ..
Thoughts ?
