There are a number of ruby library dependencies left to convert to the
new ruby build system (gem2deb) so they support running under 1.8.7 and
1.9.2+ until we can do that, unfortunately.

WHen packaging with gem2deb, using the update-alternatives system to
switch between rubies works fine, if you look away from the
non-converted dependencies.

However, I am uncertain as to the status of gem2deb in ubuntu. In the
interest of keeping changes between distributions minimal, the packaging
switch is being held back until it is actually useful.
