Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rubygems1.8

The rubygems package modifies the source of
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/defaults.rb in order to force the install
path of /var/lib/gems. Configuring the install path of rubygems is
achievable using the GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment variables, and
config options to the setup.rb script. One of these built-in mechanisms
should be used to configure the install path of rubygems so that users
who want to upgrade rubygems from upstream sources can do so in a way
that is compatible with the Debian/Ubuntu configuration.
