[DRE-maint] Bug#926278: Please build a separate binary package to ship rubygems

[Moritz Muehlenhoff]

Package: libruby2.5
Version: 2.5.5-1
Severity: wishlist

rubygems are currently a part of libruby2.5. Can you please split them into a
separate binary package like ruby2.5-rubygems (which libruby2.5 would still
depennd upon)?

With jruby we have a second Ruby implementation in the archive (which embeds
rubygems unmodified) and currently whenever there's a ruby security release
which needs fixes to rubygems we also need to update jruby (while the Jruby
interpreter usually isn't affected by many of the security bugs in the
C-based ruby implementation).

(For bullseye, too intrusive for buster)

Cheers,
        Moritz
