$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX exists in %post and %pre, pointing to %{l_prefix} or
if --prefix/--relocate is given on the command line (think "relocated
packages") to the given path. But OpenPKG packages not intended to be
relocatable. They are sometimes technically, but often they cannot
be relocated because of hard-coded paths in binaries. And OpenPKG
philosophie is to build from scratch and from source for each location
-- meaning package relocation is not required. So, perhaps we should
replace all occurences of $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX with %{l_prefix}?!
