The rubygems devs have asked nicely to get Debian to fix these issues, and have been turned down flatly.

Have they offered to fix the underlying causes? E.g. Patch OpenSSL out for gnutls? Change the structure/metadata of gems so they are trivial to package?

These are the likely prerequisites to a slick experience for their users on any distro

You'd think, but apparently that's not the case, as Debian is the only distributor who breaks rubygems when packaging it.
