By recent ruby standards, ruby should depend on and install ruby-stdgems, which
should install ruby-libraries, ruby-default-gems, and ruby-bundled-gems, where
the latter two should depend on and install the lists of default and bundled
standard library gems, which should include ruby-json and other standard library
gems.

Packages for ruby-stdgems, ruby-default-gems, and ruby-bundled-gems could be
dummy (virtual) packages (like _obsolete packages) to define the generic and
version dependent gem lists, to make version dependent changes easier.

See https://stdgems.org/{libraries,default_gems,bundled_gems}.json
