On my Wheezy VPS, "ruby1.9.1" is actually 1.9.3p194, on Ubuntu 12.04.2 it's 1.9.3p0, on Squeeze it's 1.9.2p0. It's some kind of API compatibility thing that probably makes sense to the Debian Ruby packagers, but not necessarily to you or me.

Interesting, well there we go, another thing I had to know about the Ruby ecosystem in order to use Octopress properly. :)
