Not so. You can relocate a particular file(s) into a different path
using the rpm flag:

# rpm -ivh --force --relocate old_path=new_path  <package_name>

eg:
# rpm -ivh --force --relocate /usr/bin=/mydir  e2fsprogs*.rpm

And it works. ie all the files that are to  be installed into /usr/bin
will now be installed in /mydir.
