I think this is what /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf is for. You edit it and
set the *_default values and they are used for any openssl cert

I think it would be useful for the packages doing this to break these
out into helper scripts that they install, and then call them from %post
instead of trying to hack up some kind of mechanism to re-run them
blindly.
