Updated. I also addressed Paul's concerns, by keeping a ruby-foo package
even for purely-native packages. I am assuming we agree on the following
principle:
If you are targeting the default Ruby interpreter, installing ruby-foo
will always do what you expect.
I still have one doubt, that's with the following statement: "libraries
depend on '''ruby-foo'''". I am not sure what we mean with that, and we
should probably think of all the possibilities:
pure-Ruby/pure-native/mixed package depends on
pure-Ruby/pure-native/mixed package
There are 9 combinations. Probably most of them can be handled
uniformly, but some of them will bring trouble. Let's think about it.
