An empty # $DEFAULTS_FILE is the same as setting the value to "false". Despite this, the complete script (500+ lines!) seems to be in-line copied to the rpm's post-install script (nearly 1200 lines!) too. I gave up trying to understand everything they do in there years ago. I used to repackage Chrome in earlier days (i.e. make an rpm that extracts the Google binary rpm and builds a new one with pre/post scripts I wrote myself), also because I refused to run Google scripts as root with (in those days, a.o.) lines like "rm -rf $SOMEVAR" in it. But I became lazy and you can use your time only once, so now I decided not to bother anymore.
