Public bug reported:

Please sync ruby1.9.1 1.9.2.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
The version of Ruby 1.9.X currently in maverick is an SVN snapshot. As stated
below in the Debian changelog, the snapshot was taken when ruby was already in
deep freeze, and all the changes that went in since then are bugfixes. I don't
see the point of keeping the svn snapshot in maverick.

Also, this version fixes Rubygems for Ruby 1.9.2. (No bug filed in launchpad
for that, see Debian RC bug #588125)

Changelog entries since current maverick version 1.9.2~svn28788-1:

ruby1.9.1 (1.9.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=high

  [ Lucas Nussbaum ]
  * New upstream release. The 1.9.2 branch was in deep freeze at the time of
    the last snapshot, and all the changes between that snapshot and the
    present final tarball are bugfixes, as shown by
    svn log -r28788:HEAD http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_9_2
    Also, it sounds much easier to support a released version on the long
    term, rather than an SVN snapshot.
    Also fixes CVE-2010-0541. Closes: #593298.
    Could also improve kFreeBSD support as some changes are FreeBSD-related.
  * Add build-dependency on libyaml-dev to build psych, which is a new, faster
    YAML library provided in Ruby 1.9.2.

  [ Daigo Moriwaki ]
  * debian/watch: support new URL for Ruby 1.9.2.
  * debian/rules: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nordoc" provides no-doc build for
    build testing.
  * Merged rubygems1.9.1: this package used to be provided by the libgems-ruby
    source package, but the version of rubygems provided by libgems-ruby is
    incompatible with Ruby 1.9.2. Also, Rubygems is shipped as part of Ruby.
    Closes: #588125

  [ Lucas Nussbaum ]
  * Provide a way to override Debian's disabling of gem update --system by
    setting an environment variable. This is the same change as the one done
    for libgems-ruby.
