Why would you need to move the rpmdb? Users probably aren't

I do actually install RPM package inside containers, but in my case
I'm using containers more as short-lived virtual machines for testing
than as a deployment mechanism. That said, I don't think that this
nullifies your point, as I'm not using a read-only /usr inside these
containers.
Yeah, that was poorly worded. Sorry. What I meant was simply that
containers don't seem to be a unique use case. If a container has a
writable /usr, then that should be a suitable location for the rpmdb.
And if the container's /usr is read-only, then the rpmdb doesn't need to
be in /var.
