You are talking about different things here. %configure is a macro that expands to an action usually in the %build script. But files being part of the package are directives in the %files section. Those are two unrelated things. > Also I'd prefer if rpm --verify would either ignore the file or only > check to see if it exists. I believe this would be possible.

I think you are best going with not including the file in the %files section and removing the file in the %postun script. However a bug there is unrecoverable by upgrade because the %postun script for the old package runs last. Test the upgrade paths very carefully.
