cucumber is already packaged in Debian (the name of the package is
simply cucumber).
$ apt-cache policy cucumber
cucumber:
Installed: 1.2.1-2
Candidate: 1.2.1-2
Version table:

I had a quick look at ruby-georuby:
You should not override error about the use of rubygems in
debian/require-rubygems.overrides. Instead, you should patch the source
to remove these lines, and ensure that all dependencies are packaged and
listed as such.
The commented line in debian/control (about nokogiri, etc.) is obtained
from the gem metadata and should guide you to fill the Depends: and
Build-Depends: field. From a quick glance, it will need as Depends:
ruby-nokogiri, ruby-dbf (not packaged), ruby-json.
The text of the license available here:
https://github.com/nofxx/georuby/blob/master/LICENSE
is not the same as the one you listed in debian/copyright.
You should use this one, and call the license Expat instead of X11.
The tests can be enabled by Build-Depending on rake and ruby-rspec,
removing debian/ruby-tests.rb and putting in debian/ruby-tests.rake

I don't know exactly what you meant with problems with control and
copyright files, but I hope this already addressed a few issues you had.
I haven't look at the other packages.
If you have more specific questions, don't hesitate to ask. Don't forget
to put the URL to your packages (even better to your Git repo if you use
one!)
Looking at the source of already packaged Ruby gems can be useful (they
can be grabbed with 'apt-get source' or 'debcheckout').
Cheers,
