Please note that in this specific case, the whole `%{gem_instdir}` is included
in the package, except the `%{gem_instdir}/config` entry. However, it does not
make clear in global context if `%{gem_instdir}/config` should be included
elsewhere. To make it clear, it would need to be listed in other package or in
`%excludes` section, otherwise it would be reported as an error (similarly if
you miss some file).
IOW, this is to prevent mistakes.
