Int the short term, can someone help with ruby-concurrent? I have 
single-source and single-source-2 branches with 2 different approcahes 
to fix this problem of combining the two source packages.

First approach is to ship ruby-concurrent-ext binary and manually 
handle the other gems, second approach is to still get the 2 binaries 
working (ruby-concurrent-ext ends up as an empty binary, except for the 
/usr/share/doc part).
