I don't think so, as long as the dependencies of the package pulls the
library in, the code is never executed.
require "rubygems" is a redundant task unless this library is being built for >1.9.3 and even if people don't consider it expensive (and it's not expensive in the grand scheme of things) it's just not needed unless you are on old-ruby.
