Comment (by rdieter):

 OK, confirmed with folks that %pretrans is to be avoided.

 A solution I came up with under some testing, was to use in %files
 %ghost /path/to/symlink

 and a scriptlet (something like)
 %post
 if [ -d /path/to/symlink -a ! -L /path/to/symlink ]; then
   mv /path/to/symlink /path/to/symlink.rpmbak && \
   ln -s /path/to/symlink-target /path/to/symlink && \
   rm -rf /path/to/symlink.rpmbak
 fi

 I can help do a proof-of-concept implemation in gallery cvs if you want.
