Automatically generated configuration files

I'm working on advice on automated X.509 certificate generation during package installation.

One aspect is that these files obviously have to be generated on the system during installation (or first service start) and cannot be shipped in the package. Some existing RPMs just drop files into /etc/pki/certs and /etc/pki/tls/private, without marking them as ghost files or configuration files. (I'm not even sure if you can mark something for which no content is provided in the RPM as a configuration file.)

I wonder what an ideal RPM package would do in this case?
