Ah, I see. this patch is needed to workaround the "old" Ruby
installation layout. Most Ruby packages nowadays, specially the ones
related to static assets, kind of assume the Rubygems layout, which is
supported by our tools, and could even be the default at some point.

If you need similar patches in all compass packages, you might be
interested in switching to the Rubygems layout. With that you just
symlink the Rubygems package location into the compass directory and
things just work. Something link this:

version = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion | cut -d - -f 1)

override_dh_auto_install:
	dh_auto_install
	dh_link -p compass-bootstrap-sass-plugin \
		/usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/bootstrap-sass-$(version) \
		/usr/share/compass/frameworks/bootstrap-sass

That could even be modularized in a dh_compass_plugin or something like that.

I will upload a fixed version soon. Note however that the name of the package
is bootstrap-sass, and that -sass suffix is needed to make things just work.
Changing that would require renaming stuff under lib/, what would not be
sane. The correct usage is:

	compass create myproject --using bootstrap-sass

It's used by other Ruby packages, so I would rather have it stay in the Ruby
team.
