Actually the rails package in Unstable works fine for me, which I prefer because I hate the way gem messes up my Debian.

One can also tweak the build of gem to keep it in /usr/local:

1) After downloading RubyGems, configure with:
ruby ./setup.rb config --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc --siteruby=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby
Then ruby ./setup.rb install

It's a good idea not to do this as root; set up perms on /usr/local appropriately. Just in case gem tries to violate the FHS!

2) export GEM_HOME=/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems

3) gem install rails

4) export RUBYOPT=rubygems
