In my mind, site_ruby is for libs and programs installed by hand. That's why /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 for packaged libs and /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8 for libs installed by hand is OK to me. What does site_ruby means BTW ? To me "site_ruby" means something like "local_ruby" (like in "on site").I think that packages installed by hand go to /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8, at least when installed with setup.rb. It would be really wrong if packages installed by hand would go somewhere under /usr/lib/.
I would like to emphasize that the affected Debian packages are the ones of the third-party libs and programs. If you are to update all the packages, it's better to have strong arguments for this change. Can you sum up why people complain about that ? Are there real benefits ?
