See my other comments regarding
path based filtering, all of which is non-portable
even in linux, where paths/needs are on a "de facto" per-interpreter,
per-distro, and per-FHS-version basis.

General rule based  filtering on content (i.e. using "man 5 magic" strings), or 
a more
general configuration mechanism, needs to be attempted.

I also see little need to expose (as @rpm.org has done) configuration that
hardly anyone changes, and the need for changes is often measured in
years, where a later version of RPM could easily be deployed).

Short answer:
        Not the right fix. *shrug*
