While I don't have a testing (squeeze) machine, I have machines running
stable (lenny) and unstable (sid).  Testing falls somewhere in between,
but it shouldn't differ very much from stable at the moment because lenny
was just released a few weeks ago.  I can verify that both machines are
able to run the development version of Instiki with no problems and without
installing anything via rubygems.  Here are the relevant version numbers:

stable:
rails               2.1.0-6
rubygems            1.2.0-3

unstable:
rails               2.2.2-1
rubygems            1.2.0-3
