RPM uses the dependency mappings that have the pre and post tags on them..
(Note, these are tags that we do not presently use in OE, as OE has no
equivalent to them.)  Without the pre/post dependency tags it assumes the
dependencies are met and can run through the scripts in an arbitrary order.

(For package_rpm.bbclass, we install w/o scripts and then post-process
everything to ensure the dependencies are there.. ordering is not guaranteed.)
