%post as I understand it is conceptually designed to act on objects
already built, not to change the way objects are built (which is the role
of %pre).

I do not have any "%pre" solution to suggest but I am quite confident
that you can go and override the files inside the initrd.img cpio
archive file thanks to "%post --nochroot".
