[DRE-maint] [Bug 609576] [NEW] Qt4 package for Ruby 1.9 is empty

[mkfs]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libqt4-ruby

After installing libqt4-ruby, Qt4 applications cannot be written in Ruby
1.9.

bash# sudo apt-get install libqt4-ruby
...
bash# cat test1.9.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby1.9                                                          
require 'Qt4'
app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
hello = Qt::PushButton.new('Hello World!')
hello.resize(100, 30)
hello.show()
app.exec()
bash# ruby1.9 test1.9.rb 
ruby1.9 test.rb 
test.rb:2:in `require': no such file to load -- Qt4 (LoadError)
	from test.rb:2:in `<main>'

The libqt4-ruby1.8 packages works fine.

bash# sudo apt-get install libqt4-ruby1.8
...
bash# cat test1.8.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby1.8                                                          
require 'Qt4'
app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
hello = Qt::PushButton.new('Hello World!')
hello.resize(100, 30)
hello.show()
app.exec()
bash# ruby1.9 test1.9.rb 
(Qt4 widget is shown as expected).

The 1.9 package has nothing but a changelog!

What's the deal? Ruby 1.9 has been out for a year and a half, after all.
