What prevails between the ruby naming guidelines and  the "prior art"
rule (other distros package name) in the general naming guidelines ?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#General_Naming
http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/vagrant
http://packages.debian.org/stable/vagrant


And how vagrant differs from rhc and other client command line tools that
are distributed as gems and follow this convention?
I am wondering if you are being sarcastic. If not, please do not mind
this answer.
I am indeed very sarcastic person, but this time it's just my genuine question. I wrote this as I don't use vagrant, so I don't know. I just want to see some consistence.

There is more examples of Ruby packages, such as deltacloud-core, puppet, which don't use the rubygem-prefix. The question is if vagrant is application or library.

If it is application, then it should be without rubygem- prefix and should not install into rubygems directory. If that is library, then it should have the rubygem- prefix and install among other rubygems. But the border might be fuzzy.
Many RubyGems are both libs and programs, aren't they?
