Yeah, that's the plan. There is also a third possibility which Foreman
makes use:

3. Do not distribute Gemfile.lock in the rpm and have a post-transaction
section which creates it with "bundle install --local". But if there are
any gems installed by user (gem install command), they could be used and
I think even in this case we should patch bundler to use only systems
gems.
