Package: ruby1.9.1
Version: 1.9.2.0-1

So Ruby 1.9.2 is now in the Debian package ruby1.9.1. In the mean time
there is a Debian package named ruby1.9 that seems to be abandoned.
For the Ruby 1.8 branch there is a package called ruby1.8 (aka ruby)
which always has the latest 1.8.x version of Ruby.

What is the logic of having a ruby1.9 package and a ruby1.9.1 package?
What is the logic of packaging Ruby 1.9.2 in ruby1.9.1?
Why not just use ruby1.9 for the latest Ruby 1.9.x release?
What will the package name be for Ruby 1.9.3, 1.9.4, 1.9.5, etc? Are
those going to have their own packages or are they also going to be in
1.9.1?

I have searched the web for an answer without any luck. I'm sure many
people would like to understand the logic of future packaging or at
least the logic of how things got to be where they are today.

Thanks for all the great work!
