Bad idea either.  What about the following:

package A is installed/upgraded
%post A: runs ldconfig
package B is installed/upgraded
%post B: uses utility of A that needs a library of A

There is no magic intelligence that could see if the %post install
can be postponed, because a subsequent installed package may need
its result (even that of ldconfig) during its installation.

B.t.w., did you measure what (percentage of) time could be won when
collecting the ldconfig calls?  I really don't think it's worth the
pain...
