Thanks for the idea Jonas. I gave it a try, and I finally got it working.
But, I encountered some problems on the way, so I want to ask here.
I am using Ruby 1.9, which includes Rubygems out-of-the-box, I believe.
$ gem install heroku
ERROR: While executing gem ...
What's the output of `gem env` if you unset the GEM_HOME that you have
exported ?
Normally you should have $HOME/.gem/ruby/1.9.1 in your gem paths and `gem
install --user-install your-gem` should place it there. You still have to
add $HOME/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/bin in your PATH.

Yes --user-install option[1] will install Gems into my home directory.

should storing gems in Home directory be the default behavior for Ruby on
NixOS? If so, we should configure this when installing Ruby or Rubygems. We

Thanks Vlad!
I added the following attribute in the `top-level/all-packages.nix` file,
right below the `ruby` attribute.
rubyCurses = ruby.override { cursesSupport = true; };
Then I reinstalled Ruby and found success. Nice!
$ nix-env --uninstall ruby
$ nix-env --uninstall rubygems

Yes, if could be if it's likely to be useful on more places, or it could
be the default. Or it could e.g. be

Alternatively you could also just install the heroku and the foreman
gem for the same effect.
The toolbelt is really just a distribution of these gems with a bundled
ruby interpreter, it's principally meant for OSes with a broken package

How do I package the Heroku Toolbelt? -

It looks like the Ubuntu installer includes Ruby and some other stuff, so I

Excellent! I've got it working now. For the curious ones, I pasted my
successful package below.
Now, another question. After I install the Heroku Toolbelt, the `heroku`
command is available on the command-line. But, I can't run it because I
haven't installed Ruby.

That's because of not patching the shebangs. You are right that it's run
