The problem with this approach is that it ends up with file conflicts
between the new package and the original up2date / rhn_register
packages.  Either that, or you're doing nasty evil stuff in the %post
and %preun sections to move files out of the way, then move other files
into place.  We looked at this option and decided the best way to deal
with it was to simply rebuild the RPMs.
