Yeah, I debated a bit about this. There was already the package dpkg-ruby, containing the scripts dpkg-ruby and dpkg-checkdeps. I assume that these are used by some people because popcon says there are 141 installs (and this is all that was in that package before). I considered the options of having a "dpkg-ruby" package, a "ruby-dpkg" package, or both. It seemed confusing to move the tool named "dpkg-ruby" to a package named "ruby-dpkg", and it also seemed confusing to have both a "dpkg-ruby" and "ruby-dpkg" package, so I left it as "dpkg-ruby". Anyways, I'm open to changing this decision if people agree that I made the wrong one. I expected that I could have. Cheers, Ryan --
