But won't one have problems the other way round with d-m packages usually being more updated not installing due to out-dated libs in the standard repos? I guess.
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.
