at least it seems to work well for me and some other folks - I got
positive feedback from some people, but don't know any usage numbers.

That would be great, however I don't have that much experience with
debian packaging.
As Mongrel is gaining more and more acceptance especially in the
Rails crowd, pkg-ruby-extras sounds like a good place for it. Maybe I
can even learn some more things about debian packaging, especially in a
ruby context.

So what would be the next steps ?
