From what I understood, this is using rpm scriptlets (an equivalent
of
Debian's maintainer scripts) with an Augeas syntax to modify
configuration files. I don't know if Jeff could give more info on
this.

That's interesting, thanks for the insight.
Actually augeas can now be used in RPM in multiple ways that
have no analogue to Debian maintainer scripts.
One specific goal that Augeas starts to address within RPM is rather
arcane. When cross-packaging where host != target and creating
file system imahes, then the target /bin/sh cannot be invoked.
The cross-packaging issue is present in WindRiver Linux 3.0.
Which leaves either an embedded language, or embedding augtool,
as two viable solutions for common packaging issues like
adding a user or configuring initscripts.
IMHO embedded augtool will solve the cross-packaging issue more
reliably than embedding interpreters like lua, mostly because
of the DSL and the lens transform.
