Ruby packages has nothing like "build requires". They have "development" dependencies, but that is something completely different. These are typically needed to execute test suite and executing test suite is not always easy task. Therefore even gem2rpm currently outputs the development dependencies just as a set of BuilrRequires which are commented out by default. Vít > BuildRequires can be automatically generated.
