Yes I would like to package Sass too. And I know that my proposal could 
be a kind of hijacking but this project is officially splited in two 
independent branches maintained in separate repositories, and while 
current libhaml-ruby in debian is outdated than I think that we could 
abandon libhaml-ruby and replace it with two source packages: haml and 
sass.

I also think that current package can be still in use with ruby 1.8 
while new version can be packaged with ruby 1.9.

Another question is why source package is called libhaml-ruby while it 
should be just haml (it contains binaries - not only library files)...
