Dear Hilmar,
thanks a lot for your bug report: it's a useful reminder to implement
the adjustments described in
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/Packaging?action=show&redirect=Teams%2FRuby%2FRubyInWheezy
and pointed out in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2011/06/msg00013.html

I was waiting for the right time to make those modifications.
I'll do them soon.

Should I keep the version constraint in the dependency, as in:

  Depends: [...] ruby-httpclient (>= 2.1.5.2-1)

in order to give useful hints to people who could wish to backport
future versions of apt-listbugs to squeeze (or earlier Debian versions)?

Or should I just depend on an unversioned ruby-httpclient?
