Well, IMHO if this is not safe to do in a %pretrans, it is not safe to do at 
all.

I don't understand why we absolutely HAVE to change directories to symlinks 
when we KNOW RPM doesn't support this, and that in directories as essential 
as /bin etc. The whole UsrMove "feature" is flawed and I don't understand 
why it didn't get thrown out immediately when proposed.
