Thanks for the feedback!

We made the script a link so you could check out what's going on before running it.

The heroku-toolbelt .deb actually depends on system git-core and ruby1.9.1 so we shouldn't be trampling anything.

Which is better than most people who just say "curl http://shortened.url/ | sudo sh", but inspecting the script doesn't really reveal much about what actually happens during the install. It basically just says, "We're adding this repo to your system, you'll just have to install heroku-toolbelt and see what happens!"

FYI when I installed heroku-toolbelt into "Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS", the declared prerequisites were not enough to get things working.

IIRC (and am interpreting my shell history right), I also needed to install 'libopenssl-ruby' and 'ruby-full' by name.
