Well, sometimes upstream is wrong, it does not mean we should follow them
blindly. It is redundant if used on rubygems.org indeed, and it is that
much more if we add another 'ruby-' on top of it. 'ruby-$gemname' is a
guideline, not an absolute rule, there's no point applying it if your brain
tells you it makes a redundant and silly package name. I'll be deleting
'ruby-rubysdl', you should keep 'ruby-sdl'.

BTW, speaking about $gemname, that variable is useless in most ruby
packages, just use ${pkgname#*-}, the less variables, the better.
