post-packages sles vs sled

On 11.2 at least, it seems like post-packages works fine for sles, but is
completely ignored on sled installs.  I've done some testing and am seeing no
mention of autoyast even looking at post-packages on the sled installs. 

Is this a known difference?  I saw another thread mentioning a known issue
with opensuse 11.4 but that wouldn't explain why sles works and not sled.

We have a package that mostly creates links, fun stuff like:
/usr/lib64/libXaw3d.so.7 -> libXaw3d.so.8.0

for issues with older tools we still need to support.  Rather then deal with
trying to make sure dependencies are listed in the rpm itself to ensure the
installation order, we just use the post-packages bit.  Otherwise it would
sometimes install before even the paths existed and would get wiped out by
later rpm installs.

This problem didn't seem to exist with sles/sled 10.x (for sure 10.4 that I've
gone back and tested).
