ruby-fftw3 build-depends on ruby-narray. The version of narray bringing
support for ruby2.0 was failing on those arches when ruby-fftw3 0.4-5
was uploaded. Hence an earlier version of ruby-narray without ruby2.0
support was picked, causing the build to fail (gem2deb is building for
ruby1.9.1 and ruby2.0 by default).

Admittedly, there is no version checking on ruby-narray in the
build-deps. The maintainer may have thought it was not needed or just
forgot it.

Would you prefer we upload a new ruby-fftw3 package with a build-dep
containing gem2deb (>= 0.5~), ruby-narray (>= 0.6.0.1-2~)?

Cheers,

Cédric
