What will RPM do when /usr/share/ssl changes from a directory to a
symlink on an upgrade, if /usr/share/ssl contains non-package-managed
files? Fail to create the symlink, I'd presume? In which case, old
configurations will remain pointing at old files, so no migration is
necessary. Of course, if people *want* to migrate their stuff over they
can do that manually.
I don't think %post scripts should go moving random user-controlled
files around nor munging configurations because of this change.
