Thank you for the notice.

Instead of repeating this topic here, please read dialogs in a long thread:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448639#167

We have decided that gems will install in /usr/local, as you are discussing, and
waited for the Squeeze release to come out. I have started making a new package
for a new upstream release, then a patch to achieve the change.

Regards,
Daigo
