Spoke to upstream about this package, along with the discussion in the
debian bug he adds,

"The benefit of allowing people who use ruby-postgres directly (as
opposed to a wrapper layer like Ruby/DBI or Rails/Active Record) to
postpone the migration is not worth the costs: supporting an obsolete
package with dead upstream, extra load on package archive and mirrors
infrastructure, user confusion due to having two almost but not exactly
similar libraries performing the same job."

I agree, I don't believe that adding an ubuntu package for the obsolete
library or forking the libpgsql-ruby package in ubuntu is worth the
effort.

** Changed in: libpgsql-ruby (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
