Neither is explicitly said on any other linux distro: it is experience coming from building rpms that span across distros and releases. If you type rpm -qa --scripts on a running (failrly recent) rpm based distro you'll notice how little scripting is going on: mostly on core packages where the target is well defined. > Ok, how would you handle creating symlink in setup.py? and removing it of > course when uninstalling rpm.

That's the scope foe the %file description, unless you're not creating an sdk/library in which case other rules apply. And yes none of these "rules" are documented (as far I know): it is just experience.
