ALL . -m "rebuild to enable rubygems integration"

Hello,

the above are all the "arch: any" ruby libraries that are currently
lacking rubygems integration and where a simple rebuild would enable
it (I tested it by rebuilding them all, rubygems-integration can be
seen with the existence of files in /usr/share/rubygems-integration).
Their problem is "just" that they haven't been reuploaded since
gem2deb 0.3 hit Debian.

I believe we should bin-nmu them all right now because:

1/ any future bin-nmu or security update will lead to those changes
anyway, and it's better to have those changes now while they can
still be tested until the release than after a stable release where
this kind of change is even more frowned upon

2/ in the ruby world, end-users are encouraged to use gems and the more
gems are provided by Debian, the less pre-compiled binaries users will
download via this tool.

Thank you!
