Some trouble happens when someone else want to use ffi gem on
Fedora and will try to import ffi gem package into Fedora.
In such cases, current Fedora guideline requests that gem based rpm
(i.e. rubygem-foo rpm) must be created first and non-gem support 
(i.e. ruby-foo) must be created as the subpackage of rubygem-foo.

gem has some additional usages (although many of them can be replaced
by rpm usage) and generally creating rpm from gem (if available) is preferable.
