For posterity sake:

I just spent an hour trying to get that package happily installed in a fresh debian sid debootstrap running in nspawn and it seems to be broken. They're requiring an old 1.2.x ruby-zip version, and sid seems to only have 2.0. Even after kludging past that, things break down again on unmet sass version requirements.

So true to the 'unstable' name, this package isn't currently usable.

You may want to submit a bug report: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

This will more likely result in the package being removed rather than fixed, but at least someone else won't get false hope.

I emailed pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org FWIW
