Actually you are the first lucky one who needs this. After rebuilding 
most of the packages we really did not meet other gem which needs this 
treatment. There will be no other/better way then the one described in 
link posted by bkabrda.

However, as we need some good example how to do it for guidelines and 
FPC, I'll take a look at this case. Do you have already patch which 
fixes the gem? Are you doing to use this one [1]?
