Nice!

On my side, I've:
- fixed an important bug in gem2deb: we need to test extensions after
  building them for each ruby version. We were testing all extensions
  with the last one to be built.
- Added a gen-ruby-trans-pkgs script that generates the debian/control
  snippet needed to add transitional packages.
  (both fixed in gem2deb 0.2.1, uploaded and accepted)
- updated and uploaded ruby-json and ruby-termios (both in NEW).
  No other problem encountered.
