Bug Description

Please backport ruby-facets 2.9.2-1 (universe) from quantal to precise.

Reason for the backport:
========================
apparently the facets gem is not available in Precise anymore as a deb-package, it was available for Lucid, Natty and Oneiric under the name libfacets-ruby
and has been replaced by ruby-facets in Quantal: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=facets

But none of the two is available on Precise, and since Precise is an LTS this is a pitty. Apparently libfacets-ruby has been deleted for Precise on purpose but apparently without providing ruby-facets as a replacement: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/libfacets-ruby/2.7.0-3

Would it be possible to revive the old libfacets-ruby package for Precise or backport ruby-facets from Quantal?

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise ruby-facets

* precise:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[ ] libfacets-ruby1.9.1 installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libfacets-ruby-doc installs cleanly and runs
[ ] ruby-facets installs cleanly and runs
[ ] ruby-facets-doc installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libfacets-ruby1.8 installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libfacets-ruby installs cleanly and runs

No reverse dependencies
