Yes, that's part of the same transition as the Breaks on older
python(3)-gi versions, and was added for the same reason. We wouldn't
have added those Breaks if they weren't necessary.

In fact there is no version of ruby-gobject-introspection in bookworm at
all: it was removed from testing as a result of unrelated release-critical
bug <https://bugs.debian.org/1000618>.

That's a virtual package provided by libgirepository-1.0-1 (>= 1.70.0-2)
to indicate that it has the ABI that uses libffi8, so that it won't be
necessary to add similar Breaks for the next libffi transition.
The current version of libgirepository-1.0-1 in bookworm will satisfy
that dependency.
