ruby, rvm and packages

[Thufir Hawat]

Much as I appreciate the work of RVM, it just seems overkill to compile 
Ruby.  I've already installed with RVM, so it's a done deal.

I'm just curious, because I see, after the fact:

ruby1.9.1 (>= 1.9.3.194-1) 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/ruby  	

which I think would've be sufficient for purposes.  Is it reasonable to 
use the package manager for any ruby development, or will that just lead 
to headache down the road?

In the meta-sense, couldn't an Ubuntu developer script RVM and make the 
binaries available via the package manager?  Thus obviating the need for 
me to compile ruby on my old crappy hardware :)

thanks,

Thufir
