I know it already, however this works only for ruby module packages
containing binary modules linked with libruby.so.*. 

So that we require to add "Requires: ruby(abi) = 1.8" is to make
sure that this method works for as many (including noarch,
arch-dependent) packages as possible. You can see the same
phenomenon on python replated packages, where
"Requires: python(abi) = 2.5" is automatically added even to
arch-dependent packages.

[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q --requires python-imaging
libc.so.6  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)  
libfreetype.so.6  
libjpeg.so.62  
libpthread.so.0  
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0)  
libpython2.5.so.1.0  <========================
libz.so.1  
python(abi) = 2.5  <========================
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rtld(GNU_HASH)  

and we want to apply this python method to ruby module packages
_manually_ (we cannot do this automatically now because rpmbuild
does not handle ruby abi for now)
