Actually, I pushed a couple of commits today to fix that: I changed the
'gemspec' target of debian/rules slightly to call a Ruby script
filtering non-needed dependencies and the ports/* and patches/* parts of
the files metadata.

Removing the ports/* from the list of files fixed the gem install layout
part.

Remains the question about where to put the header file (in the gem
install layout context).

> SITEHDRDIR (/usr/include/ruby-<ver>/site_ruby)
> VENDORHDRDIR (/usr/include/ruby-<ver>/vendor_ruby)

In the context of an installation under vendor_ruby, I would go for
VENDORHDRDIR, although I would have hoped for a path which does not depend
on the ruby version.

Best wishes,

Cédric
