I had a quick look at the package ruby-nokogiri. There is something a bit akward with the new gem version 1.9.1 as upstream does not ship the test directory. Could you please ask upstream to reinclude the tests in the gem? Another possibility is to use the git repository on Github as the source by changing the debian/watch file (see the manpage of uscan for example). But again there are some subtleties: - the git repo contains jar files that neeed to be filtered out from the created tar ball, with the Files-Excluded: command in the copyright file - the git repo does not contain any gemspec (on purpose, upstream explained it several times). This would break rubygems integration and dependency checks for reverse dependencies. But one could be added manually (from the gem) or programmatically. I started about a week ago to go with the github path, but didn't finish. I will push my changes to a branch 'boutil' if you want to look at it and either start from there or take some inspiration. Cheers, Cédric
