OK.

So patch to gem1.8 to call update-alternatives with a lowish priority
whenever it fiddles with '/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin'.

Similarly to gem1.9.

Now what about the corresponding apt-package. Let's say we have
'mongrel' installed via gems with the alternatives system pointing
/usr/bin/mongrel_rails to the gem version. Then we install the apt
package and there is a name clash. If something has been packaged that
is also a ruby gem how do we do the naming for the binaries?
