i wish i could. its far from wishlist imo.
if anyone that knows how to use the bugs
page on debian.org could chance it to severe
and explain how i can vote up this bug then
i'd be most grateful :)

debian developers should just fix this before
the rubygems developers among others are forced
to place debian specific workarounds in their
applications.

soon you'll tell me that i'm forced to write:
	require 'stringclass' || die "sorry you didn't install the string 
class"
in all the code that i distribute.

no chance.
sorry but the current situation is really a bit of a joke.
