[DRE-maint] rails pkg

[Ondřej Surý]

Now when rails-4.0 hit sid, I would like to resume the talk on what to do
with rails in Debian.

I propose to be much more aggressive and keep only the latest/greatest
upstream version, even if that means leaving some packages behind and not
released (we can always use backports, etc.).

The state when we have released rails-2.3 in wheezy is very sad, and it
should not have happened. It would be better to have wheezy without redmine
(etc.) than to have rails-2.3 in wheezy.

The opposing view would be that rails is more similar to ruby itself and we
have multiple ruby-1.8 / ruby-1.9.1 / ruby-2.0 / ... in the archive.

Opinions?
