Personally, I've given up on using the debian packaged ruby and the
ubuntu versions thereof for a variety of reasons besides being back
level.

The biggie is that debian doesn't really support gems properly,
there's a raging disagreement between the way gem structures its files
and the debian philosophy.

I was also quite surprised when I discovered that the debian package
for rails actually replaces the original rails ruby script with a bash
script.
