Ruby load path and vendor_ruby

Hello!
In the process of getting more Ruby libraries packaged for Debian, I
spoke with Yehuda Katz last night about a library he wrote. He had
mentioned something about the Debian library locations that is
"incorrect" for library code that isn't Ruby's stdlib: all the Debian
ruby libraries put the code directly in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 (for
example), and it should go in /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8, so a
developer can choose whether to use that, or use their own vendored
(in their application) version.
I know it would probably be considerable effort to repackage all the
lib*-ruby code in Debian, but it might be the right thing to do for
long term interoperability between the Ruby and Debian communities.
Thoughts?
