After some investigation, I found out that we should maybe not do this and create new gems:
For example, linecache and linecache19 contain linecache.rb and linecache19.rb files, so we might break things if we just replace these Gems internally in the same packages. I will try to consult with the upstream and see what I can make of it. Optimal would, of course, be to merge the two versions into one and then we could update, but I believe someone (Vit?) has already tried to persuade the upstream to do that without any luck.
