In the package manager, it's supposed to handle package
installations. Who wants additional code running on their systems when
you don't need it? Why doesn't RPM provide for a package supplied
verification tool? Then someone (even DJB) could write such a tool
that could be exec'ed by RPM. There are a million solutions to this
problem, only one of which involves modifications to qmail.
