No it's not. This is not Gentoo. Debian doesn't build packages as they are installed. And we're not just talking about Ruby source code here; any C bindings would have to be built. The architecture for that doesn't exist.

No, that's already solved. Either they have access to dpkg as a root user or they invoke ruby with their own custom environment variables.
