    What versions is it supposed to support, then? :-??

    I'm using 3.3.1 for a couple of packages, and it seems to work fine...

    Who's calling the distclean_dir_data method? I can't find any references
to it in my setup.rb :-??

    OMG. Does it only happen with 3.4.x? I just checked, and it seems so. As
you're using "--siteruby=/usr/lib/ruby" in the config command, it seems a bug
in setup.rb, but I would like to investigate it.

    Hmm... well, after a couple of tests, it seems that the problem is that we
also have to pass --siterubyver with the value /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 (or
whatever). But, I don't know if that will somehow break with older setup.rb's
(it seems not, though).  Grrr...
