What happens is that rpm will not deliver any of the files that are in the %_netsharedpath. This actually is better than the double database ideas (though they still have uses) because then software packages can easily deliver network server content and client content. As far as the pain of installing the package on all the clients I suggest yum and your own yum repository. Note, I have never tried this, but I have definately seen the code that implements in rpm in my travels through the source, and it looks like it should work.
