You can always wrap the call to rpm in a shell script which handles user interaction. I've seen more than one instance of this - ask some questions, based on the answers call rpm non-interactively, and then if necessary, handle some more interactions after it completes. Typical use (sigh) is implementing a "click-wrap" license, where some positive ack of accepting the license terms has to be made before the install will proceed. It's not pretty, and says you can't install by more automatic means (or be LSB conforming, for that matter).
