Common Position on RubyGems, stupid? what about /usr/local/ ?

[Antony Lesuisse <spam-debian@udev.org>]

Reading http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/rubygems.html was
disappointing.

I might be completely wrong but i would like to know what you think about
this idea. I noticed that the ruby1.8 install supports the directory:

	/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8

So what about packaging a version of rubygems with its files in:

	/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb
	/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/*
	/usr/bin/gem
	...

BUT this version would be configured to install and consume downloaded gems into:

	/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gems

The package is compliant (at installation only it only add an empty dir in
/usr/local).

Admin takes full reponsabilty about rubygem. On purge rubygem only remove its
files in /usr/lib.

I consider rubygem as package similar to wget. I don't expect dpkg -P wget
to remove files i have downloaded when i typed:

	wget -O /usr/local/somefile http://some/url

What do you think about that ?
