Should rpm take care of the sequence of packages within the transaction
Yes, but it doesn't do so until very recently. (4.4.7?)

Or
Should this be done out of rpm and the properly sequenced package list
should be provided to rpm. In that case tools like yum and apt should
take care of this.
yum and apt should take care of this regardless of rpm's handling.
Yum does whatever rpms ts.order() does (as noticed, removal with yum has
the same problem as older rpm versions), apt-rpm can optionally use it's
own ordering algorithm which ensures proper erasure ordering.
Just for the record:
rpm-4.4.6 and later "ensures proper erasure ordering." as well.
Yup, I knew it got "recently" implemented in rpm just wasn't sure of the
exact version (hence the reference to "problem in older rpm versions in
the above :)
