  I don't want to learn some stupid Ruby package directory
  convention. I already know if I install a Debian package
  that the configuration files go in /etc/packagename and
  the docs are in /usr/share/doc/packagename. Every package
  is like that and consistency is a good thing.
Here you ara basically saying that you want Debian to be easy for those who do packages, not for those who are going to actually use them. That explains a lot.

No, I'm not saying that at all! I am not a Debian developer. I have made packages so I understand what goes into them, but that statement was driven by me as a Debian user--when things are consistent it makes life so much easier.
