So we would have a package that provides function set 'A' as a base
package and then create a package that provides function set 'A' + 'B'
and uses alternatives to take precedence.  The benefit being that the
base package avoids a dependency on ruby?  Would it be better to roll
the 'a' + 'b' functionality into the base and create a shell package
that appends the ruby dependency but doesn't actually make a binary
change.  The benefit of this would be just one actual binary to build
and troubleshoot.
