I have some question, from "Ruby In Wheezy" at DebianWiki.
It seems that the correct way is:
bluefeather: cui tool, depends ruby-bluefeather
ruby-bluefeather: Pure Ruby library and Documents
Is it right ?

For the first, I do not know well. But upstream author(Dice) would have
to report the bug and he would have done it already.
For the seconds, BlueFeather is converter for Markdown *Extra*, not
plain Markdown. Markdown Extra support many additional syntax,
e.g. Tables, Definition Lists, Footnote. RedCloth is converter for
textile, and does not support Markdown from version 4. BlueCloth is
support *pure* Markdown syntax only. This library is very fast but not
support Markdown Extra.

I am worried of this. I didn't set target directory as you mentioned.
Should I set target directory for "../tarballs"? However, should I use
git-buildpackage, this problem will be fixed because git-buildpackage
have upstream branch.

I think, It is miss spelling. "pair of command line tool and libraries".
Bluefeather provides one command line tool, /usr/bin/bluefeather, and
some libraries.
I'll fix it and contact upstream author.

I'll request upstream author to put copyright notice. Then, I'll fix
debian/copyright too.
