I quickly wrote a script to check that the version in the repository is
newer than the version in Debian. Results:
~/dev/pkg-ruby-extras/packages$ ../tools/check-changelog.bash 
W: libcolor-tools-ruby : wrong distribution unstable
E: libcolor-tools-ruby : 1.3.0-1 in Debian, 1.3.0-1 in repository.
W: libgruff-ruby : wrong distribution unstable
E: libgruff-ruby : 0.2.9-2 in Debian, 0.2.9-2 in repository.
W: libopenid-ruby : wrong distribution unstable
W: libtransaction-simple-ruby : wrong distribution unstable
E: libtransaction-simple-ruby : 1.4.0-1 in Debian, 1.4.0-1 in repository.
E: rcov : 0.8.0.2-2 in Debian, 0.8.0.2-2 in repository.
