The original implementation cited is written in Perl. This
implementation is in Ruby. An algorithm itself cannot be
copyrighted. The attribution is done in a bit of confusing way. I don't
think this is worth to push this confusion in debian/copyright. If the
author (Chris) really thinks that his work is derived work, he should
have just added the name of the original author in its copyright
attribution.
