Fair enough :) but it seems to me the way to do that is to make an rpm
that has the dependencies of the other rpms and then has a setup script
that builds the database, configures tomcat etc...

That way you don't break packaging, you meet your requirements and you
don't have anything funky going on :).

Just a suggestion.
