%post MUST *NEVER* FAIL!!!
The mandatory (MUST) guideline is that %post MUST NOT OUTPUT anything, and
that it just plain MUST NOT fail.
The fact that redhat-lsb is buggy is also only relevant because you're using
the LSB stuff instead of using plain initscripts as REQUIRED by our
guidelines. You MUST use plain initscripts, not -lsb, -upstart or -bikeshed.
And those initscripts belong directly in the package, not some subpackage
