So if I understand this right, gdal only produces bindings for ruby1.8,
which Ruby maintainers want to remove for Wheezy+1 anyway, and no
packages in Wheezy are even using them.  Therefore I agree.

Changing the Build-Depends: ruby -> ruby1.8 would fix the current FTBFS
on buildds, but the existence of ruby1.9.1 would probably cause FTBFS on
other systems.

I've noticed this in the upstream changelog though:
