the upstream build system, so we don't have to build our own build
system on top of upstream's (which is fragile, obviously).

Ideally, there would be a "gem-to-FHS-installer" script that would allow
to copy binaries, library files, etc to locations specified on the
command line (you should not assume that we want them in any specific
location ; during the package build, files are copied to subdirectories
of the debian/ dir anyway).
Currently, the layout of the rubygems1.8 package is as follows:

$ dpkg -L rubygems1.8
/.
/etc
/etc/bash_completion.d
/etc/bash_completion.d/gem1.8
/usr
