Aha, I can confirm the non-deletion of the /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/[KS]??yum symlinks
when upgrading from the 0.1-1 version of the package.  Sorry.  This is a result
of the change of the initscript's name from "yum" to the rpmlint suggested
"yum-cron", combined with the old script's not properly checking for upgrade vs.
complete removal in the %postun script, something which is hopefully fixed in
the current version (0.2-3).

A question to the specfile experts out there: is cleaning this up something
which can be done gracefully in the new package?  As far as I can tell, anyone
with 0.1-1 version rpms installed is stuck with their malformed %postun script
running when the old version is cleaned up, which won't "chkconfig --delete" the
old "yum" service properly when upgraded rather than removed.  Is there an
appropriate place to put such housecleaning in the new rpm?
