Thanks!
I've uploaded a new version of gem2deb with the current git version,
this time to unstable.
Before that, I also made a change to allow to build only for specific
ruby versions. I haven't added any tests, it would be great if someone
could review the code and add some tests.
I'm now going to push ruby1.8 / ruby-defaults / ruby1.9.1 to unstable.
After that, I think that we could try to package a dozen of libs with
gem2deb, and upload them to unstable, to get a better idea of what is
still missing.
