I thought we had a rule about creating files in %post or whatnot and not
owning them. I could be wrong, but I check for that when I review
packages. IMHO any file a package creates on the file system at install
time should be owned or ghosted by that package.
The file is not created by %post. Currently it is created by anaconda,
which is a remnant of old times (a safety measure of making sure rpm
behaves multilib).
The target would be for anaconda to not have to touch /etc/rpm/config
at all leaving it completely to the user's discretion. But still that
file is unowned.
