(resent afer subscribing email) I've made a proof of concept package. It seems to work.
http://lesuisse.net/rubygems-poc/ It's UGLY from a DD point of view i use dpkg-buildpackage as if i was using tar zcvf. But what matters is the patch below. of course the if Process.uid should be remplaced by an option given to /usr/bin/gem: --install-usr-local --install-usr (DISCOURAGED) --install-home (to ~/.rubygems default option) The patch is here. Remember it's UGLY and it's only a proof of concept.
