i wish i could. its far from wishlist imo.
if anyone that knows how to use the bugs
page on debian.org could chance it to severe
and explain how i can vote up this bug then
i'd be most grateful 
debian developers should just fix this before
the rubygems developers among others are forced
to place debian specific workarounds in their
applications.
soon you'll tell me that i'm forced to write:
require 'stringclass' || die "sorry you didn't install the string class"
in all the code that i distribute.
no chance.
sorry but the current situation is really a bit of a joke.

There is a bug open now, #286400, which requests the creation of such
a package, in a way that it would be installed by default in most
cases, and in the others, would be flagged as highly recommended. I
believe the best course of action at this point would be to add more
information to this bug report, perhaps even raising the severity if
you feel it's warranted.
chatting to the ubuntu devels for a while brings up the following reports:
#290705
and the following message:

oh and, thanks for making the report Eric
(should have said that earlier but debian
stuff really gets me riled :/)
i've forwarded this thread to the debian
package maintainer and hope that i'll get
some feedback soon.

apt-get install $(grep-available -n -s package -F source -X ruby1.8 | grep lib)
From the link you posted above. This command is just entirely sweet... I should have remembered that I need to run grep_available with 4 switches, and pipe that to another grep for all 'lib' packages and then provide shell expansion via $() before calling apt-get install.
How could I have forgotten that little command... it must be me the user, since Fumitoshi UKAI seemed to remember it so clearly.
