I forgot one thing. You might want to look at backports. There is a backport of
Ruby 1.8.2 for Woody, so there's no reason why one wouldn't be able to find one
of Ruby 1.8.3 for Sarge. I haven't found one, but that's maybe because Sarge is
still relatively new and backports when the only difference is 1 unit in the
third version number are usually not worth it.
