If the resolution of this bug is that rubygems depends (or recommends) on libruby-dev, it should also depend/recommend build-essentials.

Nathan: I don’t really agree with the ‘you should report this bug on the Debian BTS’ idea. First, I’m an Ubuntu user, I might have no idea whether Debian’s rubygems package depends/recommends libruby-dev. Second, Debian and Ubuntu are tailored for different users, and I’d actually understand a resolution in which rubygems suggests libruby-dev on Debian while recommending it (and build-essentials) in Ubuntu.
