No as %post is indeed run wih glibc-post-wrapper as interpreter...
But glibc-post-wrapper uses ash.static after running ldconfig...
So %post should be done in lua too, and thus glibc-post-wrapper should
be run from within lua instead of being the %post script interpreter

</I>
I would say the later but it's obvious it's prone to error, so maybe making it
be installed early with filesystem & glibc (thus having one bigger transaction
at first).
Which is not appealing but can be an acceptable solution.
On the other hand, "Anything not packaged as root.root should requires setup"
is a bit obviouslyoverkill...

</I>
I suppose it's supposed to do in rpm-setup.
However that will make more requires to process by urpmi and thus
bigger synthesis.
