I have no need for ruby-support as you have described it. I think its fair to say that most of us are content to suck down our libraries direct from rubygems or even github. IMHO the ruby community is growing and moving too fast for ubuntu to try to manage all of the packages out there. In fact I'd rather go without - especially if it's slowing the release of the main ruby package.
