I've reviewed the package, it looks good to me too and builds cleanly.
However, before uploading I'd like to test it.  Ryan suggested that
this was quite hard due to the haml breakage.

A second point is the source package name.  Everything under packages/
followed the following convention:
* If it is a lib (so not app with support libs), name it the same
  as the dummy package (so lib<name>-ruby).
* Otherwise, leave the name of ource package as it is originally
  called.
The rationale is that generally it doesn't matter what the source
package is called anyway, so let's make it conventient.
If a lib is called libfoo-ruby, one always has to wonder whether the
source package is libfoo-ruby, foo-ruby, ruby-foo, rfoo, foo4r, etc. 
I know one can do some queries to find out the source package, but as
packager I'd like the consisting naming.

Why do I bring this up now?  Well, because it's easy to rename
source packages before the first upload.  Let me know if anyone
disagrees with the old convention, I'm sure we can work it out.

Kind regards.
Paul
