Debian Ruby packaging changes

[Lucas Nussbaum <lucas@debian.org>]

Hi,

I'm sending you this email because you are maintaining packages
depending on Ruby outside of the pkg-ruby-extras team (full list
follows).

In case you missed it, we have made a number of changes to the way Ruby
applications and libraries are packaged by the team, and it might be of
interest to you to look at those changes and implement them in your
packages.

For more information, see:
http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=681
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/RubyInWheezy

Also, if you are not currently maintaining your packages inside a team,
you might want to consider joining the pkg-ruby-extras team. For more
information, see http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby .

Finally, if you are no longer interested in maintaining those packages,
please drop us a note (at debian-ruby@lists.debian.org), though manpower
is scarce and we can't guarantee that we will be able to adopt them.
