Resolving this bug might look something like the attached patch. I'm not sure how often capistrano is used without rails, so it might better be a suggests. I also know it's possible to do non-rails deployments without the railsless- deploy gem, so the proposed description is not 100% correct.
Food for thought for the new maintainers. I don't propose applying the patch as is. Scott K
