I'm beginning to wonder if packaging a "cross-platform launcher" for Debian is 
worth the trouble. "cross-platform for Debian" is a kind of an oxymore.

Anyway, I was interested in runy-launchy because newer jekyll depends on it.

But here's how jekyll uses launchy:

 $ grep -Ri Launchy Rakefile lib script/ site/ test/ 
 Rakefile:    require "launchy" 
 Rakefile:      Launchy.open("http://localhost:4000")
 site/docs/history.md:- Update launchy dependency to `~> 2.3` ([#1608]
({{{site.repository }}/issues/1608))

That's all: launchy is used only to launch a web browser.

In the case of jekyll, I'd recommend to patch jekyll to use xdg-open directly 
instead of using launchy.

Did I miss something ?

All the best
