Personally, I've been using dashes rather than underscores. I've only
looked to use underscores where the name with dashes is already in use.

I'm not sure if there's a standard though, however, if you use the gem
importer for a package dependant on multi_test, it'll generate the
package name ruby-multi-test (cucumber for example).
