    Making a few changes:

    - Finally calculate DEB_RUBY_LIBDIR from the Config, instead of having it
      hardcoded
    - Dropping support for Ruby 1.6 (in the DEB_RUBY_VERSIONS variable)
    - Dropping support for the sources file, and doing minor clean-ups here
      and there

I'm currently looking at #360986, but I don't know how to reproduce it. I
tried compiling libnarray-ruby, but it does install its files under /usr/lib,
not /usr/local/lib (BTW, is it normal having .h files in
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/ ?). Can you point me to any package that has
that problem? I'm setting sitearchdir, anyway, just in case (but haven't
committed any changes yet).
