[DRE-maint] Bug#673166: gem2deb: installs ruby version specific .rb files in the vendor dir

[Paul van Tilburg]

Package: gem2deb
Version: 0.2.13
Severity: normal

Hi!

When XS-Ruby-Versions is set to ruby1.8, gem2deb/dh_ruby still installs .rb
files to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby.  (See for example ruby-pcap 0.7.0-1.)
As a result, when ruby1.9.1 is used to load the library, it can actually
find it.  Only when it also ships a .so file, it is out of the load path
of ruby1.9.1 (namely /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/<arch>).

gem2deb/dh_ruby should install .rb files to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/
if XB-Ruby-Versions is set to 1.8.  The symmetric case holds for ruby1.9.1.

Cheers,
Paul
