You already have sufficient data in the rpmdb, the problem is you've
either got to:
a) change rpm to do all the work itself, and probably make this an
option you can override with a either your environment/macros or some
flag in the package -- the rules there get complicated quickly...
or b) make it possible and safe to query the rpm db from a %post.
Either of those is a bit "ewww".
