One of the specs I've seen looking at rpm building documents for fedora 
is that they don't accept packages which require interaction, at least 
not for main packages...it would break automated install. Still, I'd 
think providing a setup script in /usr/share/docs/ would be better than 
embedding a fixed pass, or requiring no pass at all.
