well the thing is: the use of debian-multimedia.org is discouraged from
the official debian side.
while marillat is doing great packages, he doesn't really show much
interest in making his packages compatible with debian (i don't know
about any background stories, so i don't know who is to blame for that)
if you cannot live without d-m, another option is to simply build a gem
package yourself, using the libXXX-dev packages from d-m:
something like
$ apt-get source gem
$ cd gem-*/
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
the resulting gem packages should then depend on the d-m libraries.
