We already have a good way to skip ldconfig and update-menus
during install.
They both check for the envvar and exit(0) if they find it.
[gc@obiwan ~] strings /usr/bin/update-menus | grep DURING
DURING_INSTALL
[gc@obiwan ~] strings /sbin/ldconfig | grep DURING
DURING_INSTALL
And they do:
if (getenv("DURING_INSTALL")) exit(0);
