It's not part of Ruby 1.8.

dpkg -l lists locally installed packages. You want apt-cache search.

I guess that's because the version of rubygems in lenny still users
rubyforge. The default location for gems was moved two times since then.

It would actually be more interesting if you could report on your
experience doing the same thing with Debian squeeze (the next release,
currently frozen). There's not much we can do about lenny anyway.
