The core logic is as follows:

def packages_to_install_libraries_in
  if single_package?
    packages
  else
    if has_common_package?
      common_packages
    else
      native_packages
    end
  end
end

def packages_to_install_programs_in
  if single_package?
    packages
  else
    if has_common_package?
      common_packages
    else
      packages.first
    end
  end
end

So: if there is a ruby-foo-common package, libraries and programs end up in it.
Otherwise, libraries will be duplicated in the native packages, and programs
will be installed in the first binary package listed in debian/control
(normally ruby-foo/foo).
