Many thanks for doing this.  I don't use Debian, but as a Ruby
installation cheerleader I'll be glad to see the last of the
fragmentation problems associated with Debian.  Hopefully at some
point they can get rid of the split-up packages entirely and just do
something close to a full/normal install every time.  (Then you can
take the "-full" off the name :-)
