That would mean a very laborious version bump of the required rpm-helper
version in lots and lots of packages, again like was done last time.
While I agree that, in theory, it may be a nicer approach, I'm not
personally willing to do the donkey work it would entail in order to get
a smooth upgrade.
If someone wants to undertake this, this, then I'd recommend using a
macro for the version of rpm-helper that's needed which would at least
make doing the same task next time a lot easier (actually I suspect that
the rpm-helper service stuff will be cleaned up a lot for mga4, so it'll
likely be needed at some point anyway - but hopefully before beta stages!!)
