Sure!

The package hasn't made it in quite yet:

http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/dlr-languages_20090805+git.e6b28d27
+dfsg-1.html

the -dbg package contains .mdb files, which are out-of-band debugging
data:

$ dpkg -L ironruby-dbg 
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/ironruby
/usr/lib/ironruby/IronRuby.dll.mdb
/usr/lib/ironruby/IronRuby.Libraries.Yaml.dll.mdb
/usr/lib/ironruby/ir.exe.mdb
/usr/lib/ironruby/IronRuby.Libraries.dll.mdb
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/ironruby-dbg
/usr/share/doc/ironruby-dbg/copyright
/usr/share/doc/ironruby-dbg/changelog.Debian.gz

The package builds from source on sid in case you have some spare tuits.

Cheers,

C.J.
