Yeah, as we discussed on irc just now, that won't work because when you
compile modules into nginx they are literally compiled into the one
monolithic binary executable. It doesn't link to a shared object or anything
like that. So I think it's a case of either:
a) creating an nginx_passenger package, which incompatables the existing
nginx package or
b) adding passenger support to the existing nginx package, with a soft
dependency on ruby and the passenger gem (ie you can use passenger configs
with passenger if you've also installed ruby and the passenger gem)

In any case, I'll try to create a package for the passenger gem as this will
be required for either option.

What's best?
