Yes, your packages ship a vendorized version of rails 3.2 (which would 
also make it a bit difficult to get into the Debian archive). Since 
rails 3.2 is virtually EOL[1], foreman should eventually move to Rails 
4, which will also make it easier to remove the bundled gems and use the 
Debian packages.

[1] http://guides.rubyonrails.org/maintenance_policy.html: note that 
    only severe security issues will be fixed for rails 3.2 at this 
    point.
