It would be nice if we could incorporate the neeed changes to the
existing passenger package on Debian. passenger is maintained by the
Ruby team: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby

A good start is reading the documentation there and joining the team on
alioth. And use debian-ruby at lists.debian.org instead, since this list
here is mostly used for automated notifications, bug reports etc.
