  No. Apt works and does not enforce what versions you use and what you call them. Debian policies are another thing. But I wouldn't call stuff fundamentally broken that quickly. Once you actually get into packaging - versioning and dependencies stop being that simple thing really. Especially if you want more than one person to use your package in a stable environment. Also "In the name of this package, `1.9.1' indicates the Ruby library compatibility version. This package currently provides the `1.9.2' branch of Ruby, which is compatible with the `1.9.1' branch."
