This looks good! I see alexandria is already in there too! I imagine
we'd have to collaborate with the developers of Ruby/ZOOM,
ruby-revolution and Ruby/Amazon so they could host deb files in their
own accounts. By this I mean I could help roll deb files from their
projects & contribute the code to them, and then they could keep
up-to-date just by running 'rake debian:deb'.

This gives us less control than our own mini-repository, I suppose, but
it's also good in that it spreads the deb-generation software about
(the other projects will gain more users on Debian-style systems), and
it cuts down on our own burden of responsibility. It's swings and
roundabouts, I guess! But we've a few weeks to think about it, and
there's nothing really stopping us hosting on more than one repository,
to see which works best.

Cheers,
