The XS-Ruby-Version is used (only?) by dh_ruby provided by the gem2deb package. I think this behaviour would be useful also for packages not maintained by the Ruby team, and they have a higher probability to not be in the ruby section. So I think "build-depend on gem2deb" would be the best criterion. Now a decision based on the Maintainer field would possibly cover more than 95% of the cases already, with (almost?) no false positive. Cheers, Cédric
