I am unsure about it. This refers especially to applications as described in
application section of Ruby guidelines [1]. Not sure if this is the case for
Chef, but this is what Ohai upstream says about Ohai:

"It can be used standalone, but its primary purpose is to provide node data to
Chef."

According to this statement, Ohai should be packaged as a gem and named
according to it, i.e. rubygem-ohai.
