Woohoo, this is encouraging, thanks :)

I can certainly do the initial upload.

But I can't reasonably commit to maintain these two packages on the
long term; besides, not being a Ruby guy, I'm concerned that just
staying on top of current pkg-ruby-extras best practices would add
some overhead on my side that I'd rather skip. So I'd rather not be
listed in the Uploaders field.

What I can do, though, is use the packages daily, on my personal
systems (sid) and on the Tails infrastructure (generally Debian
stable), file as good bug reports as I can, and send you folks pull
requests whenever I can do that without leaving my comfort zone
too much.

So, who wants to be commit to maintain the package (== be listed in
the Uploaders field)? Antonio and/or Miguel? Anyone else?

Another option (that I like less, but well) could be that I try to
maintain the package as long as it's easy, and I shout and ask for
help whenever it gets harder / more Ruby -specific.

I'll check with anonym how we do boxes, and we'll see if/how it
applies to Debian cloud images.

I think we can either trivially convert a VirtualBox box with
qemu-img, or build a dedicated one e.g. with vmdebootstrap.

Cheers!
