Subject: RubyGems or packages or both?

I am puzzled as to what the recommended way to install packages (from 
the point of view of Ruby developers) should be: RubyGems or 
distribution-specific (Linux)packages for each (Ruby)package?

I am asking because Ubuntu "deliberately" does not include RubyGems as a 
(Linux) package, arguing that (Ruby) packages should always be installed 
using the (Linux) packaging system (apt-get etc) instead of RubyGems. 
They argue that using RubyGems would inevitably break things.

Is it known what the opinion of Ruby developers and expert Ruby users is 
on this?
