Has there been any further discussion on paths and such for the 1.9
package? I notice Lucas brought it up on the debian-ruby list in
November, but the discussion didn't resolve much.

I guess in the interim lib*-ruby packages for 1.9 can just follow the
1.8 style paths?

I installed the ruby1.9 package as a trial last week, and the biggest
issue I had was no rubygems. I've heard rubygems will be part of stdlib
in 1.9, but it doesn't seem to be there yet. Is it worth creating a
package for it?
