It makes sense run SuSEconfig in YaST after installing distro, since the same 
scripts would have been run several times (e.g. some stuff related to post-
install scripts of fonts, IIRC), and YaST also sets the YAST_IS_RUNNING 
variable so that packages can know that SuSEconfig will be run.

There is nothing similar in zypper or PackageKit; since when doing update, you 
typically update a few packages, it does not make much sense to change it IMO. 
Additionally, plain 'rpm -U' has to work as well.
