I thought about something like an automatic server which installs all new packages, and performs a self-test after install. For example: - are the init-scripts already ok - were directories /files deleted - ...
Or maybe there should be a script local installed which warns the users, if the rpm is doing something like deleting directories, and asks then, if it should stop or sth. like this.
I don't know, if that's possible to perform, but i think, we should think about something like that...
For installation-time issues, rpm -qp --scripts foobar.rpm should help. If you doubt a program has a run-time backdoor, check the sources. Maybe the installation-time scripts can be checked more or less automatically - but the programs can't IMHO because they are too complex.
