Isn't that available if you apt-get install ruby rubygems libpgsql-ruby
libmysql-ruby libopenssl-ruby libxml-ruby libnokogiri-ruby?

I hope you understand that it is not reasonable to expect this to be
part of the default Debian install, or even to expect that installing
"ruby" would install "libpgsql-ruby libmysql-ruby libopenssl-ruby
libxml-ruby libnokogiri-ruby" too.
