My suggestion is that a special flag be made available, and that the flag be set by any package that needs new initrd files. When all the packages have been installed, then call mkinitrd if the flag is set.
IMHO the solution should be more general as similar problem concerns other post-install actions as well. For instance, rebuilding kpathsea cache after updating almost any TeX package became extremely annoying since texlive was separated into a lot of small packages. And I guess more examples of the same problem could be found.
Anothe one is gtk-update-icon-cache. Many packages call it as post-install action, and on slow systems it takes some time to complete. Many times I have seen an upgrade that could be completed in a couple of minutes take more than ten just because half of the rpms updated are calling gtk-update-icon-cache.
