Yeah, I'm reconsidering. I'm still leaning towards the bundling idea, but
more the way you describe it, with individual packages that can all be
pulled in by a libruby-extras metapackage.
I'm also very interested in putting all the libraries that are pulled in by
the metapackage under a single umbrella project on alioth, with a single
svn repo for them all. The libs could be team maintained (by The Debian
Ruby Maintainers?) with anyone in the uploaders field who wants to help.
Thoughts?
