the concern exists as long as the new package has the symlink ...
example: old package had the file /etc/splashy/themes/openSUSE/background.png
new package has only /etc/splashy/themes as symlink
new files are installed. ok so far.
old files are removed: /etc/splashy/themes/openSUSE/background.png
is not in the new package anymore, rpm will try to remove it.
Since the symlink /etc/splashy/themes points to the new location,
rpm will happily remove the newly installed file from the _new_ path.
result: after installation, background.png is missing completely.
