It's documented at www.rpm.org, Red Hat and SuSE.

https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_scriptlet_snippets
https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/
It's available since RPM 4.4. RPM 4.16.1.3 is in Hardknott.
A short Google search showed that *maybe* dpkg also supports it,
or at least there are(were?) plans to implement it:
https://wiki.debian.org/i18n/TranslationDebsProposals
With postinst, the time when the scriptlet runs may depend
on the order of the packages in the upgrade transaction and
may run with the older binaries in place.
The posttrans scriptlet runs at the very end of the
install/upgrade transaction, just like the OPKG "intercept"
scripts.
I successfully tested it long ago with a kernel upgrade
that was running dracut on the new version, plus a dracut
upgrade in the same session. Dissecting the initramfs proved
that with postinst, the old dracut version generated it,
while with posttrans, the new one did.
Who would want to use it? Anyone who needs some finalizer
script to be run at the end of an RPM/DNF transaction.
I started on Angstrom and I know opkg doesn't implement this
and Yocto inherited it. This patch is basically a heads up
that there's another way to do the same thing. Maybe opkg
implements this some day, maybe not. Anyway, Yocto in general
will need more changes before the main package.bbclass can
start to use it for all package formats.

This needs to be better documented and tested.
What does this posttrans thing really do?
Who would want to use it?
Can there be examples?
Can the Postinst test in meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/runtime_test.py be extended to
regression-check that it works?

The "posttrans" scriptlet is the RPM equivalent of the
OPKG "intercept script" concept and probably a cleaner one.
"pretrans" also exists in RPM but there's no equivalent
for it in OPKG.
