Hi!

Attached patch fixes the FTBFS.

  Subject: [PATCH] Build for only ruby1.8

   * Build depend on ruby1.8 instead of ruby.
   * Add patch for using ruby1.8 in Makefile.


Builds fine with cowbuilder clean chroot.

The default Ruby interpreter is now ruby1.9.1 and not ruby1.8. The new Ruby
Policy [0, 1] states that if a package is only built fro a specific version (and
not all Ruby versions in Debian) it should build-depend/depend on that specific
version.

I.e. at the moment building for all Debian Ruby versions should have
ruby | ruby-interpreter, building for one version should hence have either
ruby1.8 or ruby1.9.1.
