Adding such a package is already in the plan, yes. However, you probably want to depend on gem2deb instead. gem2deb will depend on this package from ruby-defaults, but will also give you `dh_ruby --print-supported` so you don't have to hardcode anything. Un the case of Ruby packages, you probably want to use gem2deb anyway. -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
