Likely this. Debian removed update-alternatives for Ruby; see [1]. And
from [1] under "Installing Ruby versions not packaged in Debian":

    While ruby-build is a great tool to build Ruby versions
    that are not available via APT, you should still use the
    Debian-packaged versions of Ruby whenever possible since
    they are tested and supported by the Debian community.
