protobuf is nothing like an usual Ruby package.
The top of debian/rules has this:
export DH_RUBY = --gem-install
export DH_RUBY_USE_DH_AUTO_INSTALL_DESTDIR = debian/ruby-google-protobuf
export GEM2DEB_TEST_RUNNER = --check-dependencies
But this is completely misleading, since the part that seems to actually
do the Ruby build does not use gem2deb at all, and looks like this:
ifeq (,$(filter noruby,$(DEB_BUILD_PROFILES)))
# Ruby build
cd ruby && rake package genproto
endif
So this has definitively nothing to do with gem2deb.
