[DRE-maint] Bug#649775: Bug#649775: rbenv: Does not work with non-root installed gems

[Brandon Simmons]

I'm sorry, it actually seems like I'm not getting shims set up even
when I install the passenger gem as root and then run 'rehash':

    $ ls ~/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-debian/bin
    erb  gem  irb  rdoc  ri  ruby  testrb
    $ ls ~/.rbenv/shims
    erb  gem  irb  rdoc  ri  ruby  testrb

looks like the passenger binaries ended up in /usr/local/bin. That
doesn't seem right, since if I gem install passenger in ruby 1.9 that
binary will be clobbered, right?

All of the shims that were set up for me are in /usr/bin
