Sure. I've just been trying to find some Ruby desktop app that is available as 
a Debian package as a reference but I'm not aware of any. Could someone 
recommend one? Preferable something with a non-web GUI (ie. something with Qt, 
GTK, etc would be nice to study).

I'll look at the git-buildpackage, thanks.

But let's say my package is installing using setup.rb (as recommended here 
http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/upstream-devs.html), how does setup.rb 
relate to creating a debian package? Can use setup.rb somehow to create a 
debian package?

Thanks for all the help folks, especially Ondrej for the efforts!

Kind regards,
Declan
