Hi Zed,

Yeah, this is annoying as hell. We already discussed this a while back. If 
I remember correctly, even Matz defended this or at least said we should 
show more respect. He himself uses Debian as do a lot of other Ruby 
committers. It was suggested that there would be a virtual package that 
links to all the others, but I haven't checked if this was actually done.
