This might confuse people into thinking that gem2deb won't work with
ordinary tarballs. How about this replacement for the above:

The "gem2deb" tool takes care of most of the points mentioned above in
an automatised way. Running gem2deb on your orig tarball or a gem
package from your upstream will get you most of the way towards making
your package compatible with the new draft Ruby policy.
