so I have some questions now.

* When will these packages be updated to use ruby1.9 ?
Everything up to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) uses Ruby 1.8 as the system default [1].

If you 'apt-get install ruby' then it does not install Ruby 1.9 and I'm guessing this is Opscode hedging their bets somewhat since chef-client doesn't (AFAICR) have anything which strictly requires Ruby 1.9 today? 
* Does opscode recommend to use ruby1.8 for chef and chef-server ?
If you install using the 'Full Stack' [2] approach then chef-client runs with Ruby 1.9 .. Whether that's a recommendation or not, I don't know ;)
