*shrug* it's just anaconda doing it's package install to build the
install image.  Given that shadow-utils doesn't mention setup at all,
rpm can't possibly know that setup should come before shadow-utils.  I
worked this down to a simple reproducer, just creating a fresh chroot
and asking yum to install NetworkManager will trigger the ordering issue
(at least on i386).  Giving rpm the hint that shadow-utils needs setup
fixes the ordering issue.
