If you want to use Gee explicitly, that's a good point. However, the
bug filed against the Fedora package is more subtle:

////
using Vala;
using GLib;

public class TestVala : CodeContext {
  construct ()
}
////

it does not use Gee directly, but CodeContext is pulling it in (the
file needs to be compiled with --with gee-1.0)

In this case, would not using a different version of libgee than the
one Vala is compiled against, potentially causing a API mismatch?
