This might not be completely true; but even if the .so doesn't use
any of libruby's symbols, it's still built against libruby2.2 and
ends up in the extension directory of libruby2.2.
As such it really should have a Depends: libruby2.2.
Easiest way of getting that dep right (now and for future versions)
may be to actually link with libruby.
BTW, there's a pkg-config file if you don't want to go via
RbConfig::CONFIG; if you do, it appears the relevant snippet is:
print RbConfig::CONFIG['DLDFLAGS'] + ' ' + RbConfig::CONFIG['LIBRUBYARG_SHARED'] + ' ' + RbConfig::CONFIG['LIBS']
Thanks!
