?!? Debian packages are supposed to work with debian packages...
If the debian redmine package does not fit your needs, then manually
install redmine from original tarball.
Gems are an alternate packaging system, so if you use them, it's best to
use them for the whole ruby stack.

However i think there might be a way to fix this.
Providing some help, instead of complains, would be nice.
The error message "no such file to load -- action_controller" shows
that redmine does not find rails where it's supposed to be :

Redmine < 0.9.4-3 depended on rails 2.2.3, and the 0.9.4-3 version depends on rails 2.3.5.
The main difference (for your problem, i think) is that the
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/actionmailer
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/actionpack
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/activemodel
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/activerecord
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/activeresource
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/activesupport
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/railties
/usr/share/redmine/vendor/rails
links, which were installed by rails-app-debianize, are now all replaced by
ln -s /usr/share/rails-ruby1.8 vendor/rails

So you should give a try by restoring those links in /usr/share/redmine/vendor/,
pointing them to your custom rails installation.
If that works for you, provide some feedback and the precise links you added,
and i'll add some documentation for the next release.
