I didn't know what version of debhelper cdbs needs, but 'dh_make
--cdbs' adds a build dependancy on version 7, so I assumed that it
would just be okay to use 7 (better safe than sorry). Should I change
it to something else?

no, it's generating rdoc html documentation from the source files in
ext.  that's what dh_rdoc(1) does (and the stuff from dh_rdoc is all
that's going into that package)

okay, I'll just take out the dependancy on ruby1.x then; dh_shlibdeps
figures out that libruby1.x is needed.
