Thanks for the kind message. I gave it a shot with gem2deb and I produced a
(very) preliminary package. It is at:
https://github.com/rbrito/pkg-pdfbeads
The changelog, in particular, is very cluttered and should be cleaned,
among other things. Regarding ruby-specific packaging stuff, I would love to
get comments and/or corrections.
The package providing jbig2 should, really, be a Recommends instead of a
Suggests, but since it is not in Debian yet, I left it as is for the time being.

While I'm not sure if I am able to maintain this package (let's say that
some use asks for a new feature), I won't know how to proceed.
Assistance and opinions is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Rogério Brito.
