So, why no Ruby Gems yet?

[Michael T. Richter]

I finally got around to installing Edgy on my testbed (and undoing some
of its obnoxious behaviour on installation like "correcting" all my boot
devices to be its partition....) and started to install the tools I
need/like/want.  One of those is Ruby 1.8.  I've noticed since Breezy
that Ruby Gems has not yet been packaged for Ubuntu and this confuses
me.  The fact that someone is packaging Ruby at all indicates that
someone, somewhere likes Ruby enough to go through the backflips.  Yet
I'd be hard-pressed to find a deep Ruby user who doesn't use Gems.  Is
there some technical reason I'm unaware of making Ruby Gems not get
packaged or is it a matter of missing manpower?
