Why isn't this work a part of an official ruby release?<p><pre><code> Patched Ruby 1.9.3 to export the right symbols to work with ruby-debug

Why aren't Debian and Ubuntu doing this already?
This looks pretty good - it's always painful installing packages from source (RVM included in that) mainly as a time + another thing I have to maintain thing.<p>I'm not that familiar with Debian package management but would it be much work to also have these packages working on squeeze too? In which case I would most likely start using Debian a lot more.
