But I do use them myself. I still install Ruby via apt (as described
in the original thread on this topic), for which I install six
packages including ruby1.8-dev and build-essential. I've not been
instructing people to just 'use the rails package', I've been
demonstrating that installing rails is not as hard as everyone else is
making out.

I didn't characterize you in that way, nor have I asked you to "bend
your project". If you feel that I have, then I'm sorry.
