If when you say "install script" you mean the %pre and %post sections of
the rpm the answer is yes, it is now done there. 

The catch is that the %pre section of the install script depends on the
currently installed mailman being able to correctly report its running
status, which is a "feature" added to this new rpm. So the install
script will do the right thing, but only if its installing over a
version that can report its running status. Bottom line, once this rpm
has been installed the install script in future upgrades will do the
right thing. Make sense?
