Package: ruby1.8-dev
Version: 1.8.6.111-4
Severity: minor

Files in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux provided by ruby1.8-dev reference
header files provided by libc6-dev.  Although it is possible to use some of
the functionality of ruby1.8-dev without it (mkmf) at least a Recommends on
libc6-dev (if not an outright Depends) is justified because of the common
use case of ruby1.8-dev (compiling arch-specific gems) and the non-obvious
error message which is produced when libc6-dev is not installed.

Thanks,
- Matt
