Hello Andreas,

sorry for being so late - we had a talked about the ruby binding of sbml on Mini Debconf
in Paris in January.

I have had a look at the build system, the library do not use the standard ruby extension
"extconf.rb" build method. Building the sbml ruby binding for two ruby version seems to
be very hard to do.

Since there is a very low popcon of ruby bindings and has got no rdepends, I suggests to
remove libsbml5-ruby1.8 from the package and archive.

Perhaps upstream would fix that, and we can re add the ruby bindings later.

Greets,
	Jonas
