The old preun script was doing the right thing in only doing a "chkconfig --del"
on a full uninstall, not on an update.  The problem stemmed from the fact the
init script name changed, which is an exceptional condition, an not something
the writer of the old preun script could have foreseen.  I think in other
similar cases, when the init script name changes, the package name changes too,
and the new one is set up to obsolete the old one, so the old one gets fully
uninstalled.  In this case, as it's a simple update of the same package, I think
the only thing you can do is check in the pre script to see if it's an upgrade
($1 -gt 1) and then remove (or rename) the lockfile and chkconfig --del yum. 
Renaming, rather than removing, the lockfile will ensure the service keeps
running after the name change.  The "condrestart" in the post script didn't work
on the upgrade from 0.1-1 to 0.2-2, again because of the name change of the
lockfile.
