Bug Description
Binary package hint: chef
When installing via aptitude, rubygems gets installed because libchef-ruby1.8 Recommends it. The rationale was because a user might wish to manage gems with the 'gem_package' resource/provider. If apt-get is used to install, it mentions rubygems as recommended but does not add it to the installation.

"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations." - Most installations where Chef is used would have RubyGems installed to make maintaining installed gems easier.
