The call to `ruby` is only needed to decide which ruby versions to run the tests against. Since a crossbuild implies nocheck, no tests are ever executed and the build just succeeds. I just pushed a commit that marks everything but debhelper as <!nocheck>, which makes crossbuilding work correctly (tested with the newer sbuild only).
