Subject: can it be shorter?

doing access control on rails controller,

------ I have this input --------------
hash = {"index" => "list",
          ["edit", "update"] => "manage_one",
          ["new", "create", "destroy"] => "manage_all"}

------- I want this output ----------
{"index"=>"list",
 "edit"=>"manage_one",
 "update"=>"manage_one",
 "new"=>"manage_all",
 "create"=>"manage_all",
 "destroy"=>"manage_all"
}

------ I have this code ------------
  hash = Hash[*hash.to_a.collect{|x|
                       Array === x[0] ? x[0].zip([x[1]]*x[0].size) : x
                    }.flatten]

----- I want shorter code ------

thanks.
