Not calling _post_service as I explained doesn't break that the package is ready to run. Enabling the service with drakxservices will still work just fine. It is necessary to have some packages not have their init scripts enabled immediately upon installation, because they need to be configured before they will work and there's no way around that. Luckily that number of packages is small, but this rpmlint error should still be removed, and doing so doesn't break policy.
