importing a newer version of ruby-build is mainly an issue of updating
the manpage. I have to admit that I don't use ruby-build too often
anymore. The Debian Ruby packages are fairly up-to-date nowadays and I
tend to use those for development as well as production.

I haven't had the time to write a mail explaining this properly, but
this is probably a WONTFIX issue. ruby-build itself includes
definitions that need additional patches in order to build. See
https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/pull/195#issuecomment-7743664 for
details.

Sorry, I can't reproduce that one; worked for me using stretch and
sid. Can you describe your problems in more detail (or open a separate
bug)?
