It might avoid trouble with unpackaged code, if this rubygems fallback is
kept. But there should at least be a useful error message. Currently it
just complains about the missing rubygems, not the library it tried to
load in the first place.
Attached is small patch that updates NEWS/README.Debian for the LOAD_PATH
changes.
