Why not if someone (you?) in the team accept to sponsor this package.

Fixed.

Done, following the guidelines.

setup.rb did install images under /usr/lib/ruby/1.8, i found in the
pkg-ruby-extras svn repository a way to remove them. Now packaging is
done with libsetup-ruby1.8 plus some lines in rules file: installing
images, test files and generated html docs in the proper path.

Waiting for new comments :)
