The scenario I am concerned with here is:

This basically yields a case where ordering can't be properly done because
rpm doesn't know which dependency is stronger. If all of the rpms in question
just deliver files then all is well with the world but if each of them have
scriptlets the ordering can definitely matter and this would be a problem.

Scriptlet dependency ordering it specified with for example:

Requires(post): pkg

Are there any circular scriptlet deps?
