This went against my undertanding of %posttrans, so I asked rpm
maintainer and he confirmed that %posttrans scriptlets are executed as
the last thing in the transaction. I might be misunderstanding what
you say but I'd say that there actually is a period of waiting /
postponing execution of %posttrans scriptlets of all packages until
the end of the transaction.
