I see, thanks for that background information.

I was already thinking about doing an NMU or QA upload, but I
currently don't intend to adopt ruby-curses for various reasons:
* I've nearly no experience with Ruby and no experience with ruby
library packaging or the according workflow at all.
* I already maintain too many packages. :-/
* The package in question (irqtop) is just a bycatch of the source
package's main package I'm interested in: iptables-netflow-dkms.
It sidekick irqtop is mostly a performance analysis and debug tool
for that kernel module despite it has more general use cases, too.
And I don't want ruby dependencies in a kernel module package for
high performance traffic statistics. :-)
* The future of the irqtop package is a bit unclear since util-linux
upstream introduced a C written command of the same name recently,
too. See https://bugs.debian.org/1009668 for that discussion.
Anyway, thanks to your upload the most annoying issue with irqtop (the
ruby-written one) is now gone. Thanks again! :-)
Regards, Axel
