docdiff fails: installs its files where ruby can't find them

Bug Description

The docdiff package, once installed, fails with:

/usr/bin/docdiff:8:in `require': No such file to load -- docdiff/difference (LoadError)
        from /usr/bin/docdiff:8

dpkg -L docdiff says that it installs lots of its files (such as difference.rb) to a directory called /docdiff.

It looks like that should be /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/docdiff instead of just /docdiff. At least, that's where debian sid puts it, and if I
  mv /docdiff /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/
then docdiff starts working.
