This change was made on purpose. Switching interpreters with alternatives will not be supported anymore, /usr/bin/ruby will always point to the default version, and we won't support multiple versions on a stable release. Ruby 2.0 will become the default as soon as we can, and Ruby 2.1 after that. You can still switch interpreters at the user level with the rbenv package. -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
