Just to avoid confusion: are you sure? That would imply the need to run
SuSEConfig after any 'rpm -i/-U'!

That was a bug in the package, the package can't just rely on SuSEConfig
will be run after it installs. Only in case YAST_IS_RUNNING is set (as
jsrain pointed out in his mail).

So while i agree with you that this needs to be solved at rpm level (as
you pointed out in the other mail), it
is not true zypper should run SuSEConfig because bugs in packages can
have consequences if it is not run. Please let's be clear on that.
