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 -- Take care.
